I've sworn by the Romin and have shelled out a bomb getting them for all my bikes. Been building up my new road bike though and fancied something a bit different (shamefully, I was swayed by what looked good on the bike, rather than what I knew my arse liked). Got a Prologo Nago Evo and although I haven't been out on the road with it yet, I've done a few 2 hour sessions on the rollers and found it amazing.
I'm happy with the Romin (143mm) on the road, but when I'm on the rollers where I can't stand, move aroud on the bike or releive any weight from my gooch, I'm usually uncomfortable after 40 mins and suffering after 70. Given this, I reckon on the road the Nago could be my best yet. Feels narrow, but sits under the sit bones perfectly and it seems to vanish just in front of them so I can't feel the middle and nose at all.
I was worried about the lack of nob channel because I've always had serious problems from numb nuts/dick and have been drawn to the saddles that look obviously to address this (Romin/SMP/SLC above etc), but it's actually really good. The little notch at the back and the softened centre part of the shell really seem to do the trick.
