I was just considering buying a Selle Anatomica instead of a B17 and had few questions. I weigh just shy of the 180 lb limit for the standard saddle. Since I have been reading about the stretching that the leather does, would you recommend that I go with the clydesdale version? Also, has anyone tried the version without the cut-out? It's almost half the price of the cut-out version and I don't have a problem with pressure up front. Does the cut-out provide significantly more comfort under the sit bones by allowing increased flex?
