How do you actually pick a comfortable saddle?

Now its my all time favourate saddle. Like sitting on a walnut for the first 5 minutes of a ride, but after that its perfect. I spend much more time seated when riding fixed too, so something most be right. I read somewhere that its based on the flite, so maybe I should look into getting one of them at some point (that saddle^^ is no longer produced :( )

hey, i've got that one too. +1
although, the arione would be my second pick. the sheer length of it makes it easy to experiment with where you want to be fore-aft wise while riding.
