That's your problem right there. I think I've heard more kvetching about the "Bonty of Death" than any other stock saddle out there.

Some amount of tenderness on the sitbones area is normal when you're toughening up, especially if you have a sudden increase the amount of saddle time. However, a bad saddle is just a bad saddle and there's no reason to continue suffering just to prove it to yourself.

You might get lucky with the Terry right away, but be prepared to try a few more saddles out before you find The One True Saddle. Most reputable LBSs have a 30-day return policy so you can buy & return & rinse & repeat as necessary.
