I have a Trek pilot 2.1 and love it (got it this year). I too think that's a pretty good price, & if your LBS has taken the time with you to fit you on the bike, and you're feeling good, then go for it.
As for the butt issue, there is a certain amount of conditioning which has to occur. I think most people's sit bones aren't ready for the pressure put on by cycling off the bat, since it's not a sofa.
I would give yourself some time in the saddle (no pun intended, I guess) before worrying about the saddle itself. When I started riding and 1 hour seemed like a long ride my butt would be sore, but that decreased as I did more riding and got in better overall shape. Now I don't notice this being an issue at all. If after riding for a while you still find the seat uncomfortable by all means switch it out.
Good luck, hope you become a frequent participant here!
