And how did the saga end??

I'm actually still having saddle issues after 8 or 9 months.

My left sit bone feels like it's sitting right on the rivet (Brooks). My right one's fine. I've fiddled with it endlessly, adjusting it in minute degrees and finally decided that I must have gotten a seconds. I even got a callous on my left cheek from it!

I was looking at my saddle the other day and saw the depressions made by my sit bones, and lo and behold, my left one is right by the rivet and my right one is a good half inch forward from its equivalent.

I shouldn't be too surprised; I do have a minor case of scoliosis, so my pelvis is probably off-kilter. Maybe I'll look into a Brooks B68 with springs!!
