I've been riding a Galibier for about two years on my randonneur bike. It took me (170lbs) quite a while to break it in. I almost gave up and swapped it back for the Aspin, but a combo of rainy and sweaty rides finally did the trick.
For me the S/G works best with bars below saddle, while the Aspin works slightly below, at, and above saddle heights. I like both models equally. I decided to try switching to the Galibier because the bars on my rando are 2-3 inches below my saddle and I've come to appreciate less pressure on the backs of my thighs on rides over 200k. It feels similar to using a Flite or a Fabric Scoop saddle. Though the Aspin is a great all around saddle for me as well.
