I've had some soft tissue pain - but it's usually an adjustment problem.

That is a point that I never would have thought about from experience. I have never owned a longer saddle. My bike came with one, but lbs guy took it off and kept it putting on this shorter one I have now. My bike was a wsd but he said, "oh I think this looks like a man's saddle, try this...". He probably sold it for more $ or something. Not good after sale service at that lbs.
