I agree with Anne's point that if the sit bones are not in the right position a saddle is not comfortable.
My SO had me put her fancy woman-specific gel saddle on her Betty Foy when we got it. I had a B68S pre-aged ready to go and finally convinced her to give it a try as the gel saddle was not really working. The Brooks was a total revelation for her. And she continues to be amazed that it gets more comfortable with use. So her sit bones are in the right place for a B68. Given the gel saddle was about $150 the B68 was a value.
