The 1000 had the same saddle as my 4500 mtn bike, so I was already planning on changing it out! I have a couple of Terry saddles that I got for my birthday, and I've put one on the mtn bike, and I love it. I put the other on the 1000 and I didn't like it as much, but that could be about the new riding position. I'm going to swap them and see what works. I can't remember which saddles they are, but I know at least one is a Butterfly.

Yes, the Bontrager saddle is hideous.
