I pulled the fi'zik saddle off my Cannondale Synapse right away because it didn't have a cutout. I replaced it with a Terry Liberator Ti just because that's what the shop had in stock. Didn't really know anything about fitting saddles, just that I really need a cutout.
Reading more on this board, I realize I probably need a wider saddle than the one I have, but it's been pretty comfortable for me compared to what I know.

I replaced my saddle, but only the size, not the model. The mid-size saddle that came with my bike (Specialized Jett 143) was too wide and caused pain. I figured I needed a wider saddle, but LBS told me to go narrower. I was very skeptical, but once I swapped it out for the 130 -- Bliss.
So, it's not that I got a sucky saddle to begin with; it just wasn't the right size for me.
