Aaron, Thank you! After trying the Regal, someone gave me an old Concor (not light list Lance uses) to try, works even better for me.
Saddles are like shoes, what works for me/you does not always translate to others. The new Concor usually goes for $100 to $130, not cheap but not too expensive you cannot try them.
