I am all about the split. I slowly switched over all my bikes to having saddles with a split.
My fav that I have on two bikes now is the brooks CAMBIUM C17 S CARVED. The ladies cambium with the split. Best of anything I have tried. I also agree that a lot has to do with angle. I know my tendency when I first started riding was to put the nose pointed down too much. I totally seemed logical that if I am getting too much pressure on my stuff to get the nose as far away as possible. Now I realize it better to be totally flat or at least a tiny bit pointed up. Keeps you naturally cradled on the seat vs too much pressure from keeping you on the seat.
