It is a point of rapt debate among weight weenies and those who are not. I side with those who say the leather is so thick and otherwise so much the source of the qualities of a leather saddle that any slight difference in the properties of steel and Ti would be immeasurable. What drives the differences in leather saddles is the amount of leather used, shape of the saddle, and adding springs.
