Any good saddle that fits you,(not just a Brooks) should position you on your sit bones and not on your soft tissues. Though some of us don't have, shall we say tall enough sit bones to not still get some soft tissue squashing.... Personally I have a strong preference to riding a saddle with a cutout. I can do a saddle without one for short rides, but you won't see me on a non cutout saddle for a longer ride. (I also like the ventilation aspect on hot days... though the cold spray in wet condtions is not entirely appreciated...)
