+1000 on this. I had a SA, and it immediately sagged. I detailed my experience with SA customer service here:
http://bikingtoplay.blogspot.com/2014/08/buyer-beware-selle-anatomica-review.html I can't ethically sell this POS saddle, so I went ahead and drilled and laced it with an old shoe lace. I haven't done much riding on it since then, but that definitely made it better: http://bikingtoplay.blogspot.com/2014/10/ye-olde-trek-rides-again-with-sella.html My Brooks is rock hard and slick as ice, while the SA is a saggy piece as described above. Truthfully, I use a Bontrager plastic saddle or a Charge Spoon mostly these days, especially after I had good luck using those little VO bag loop thingies to hang my Carradice off the back of my plastic saddle. I like the way leather saddles look, but I don't see actually using one anytime soon.
