Thanks for the information about these saddles. I got a wsd RL just over a week ago and so far I like it. I can feel my sit bones, but I don't think that is such a bad thing - better than feeling the soft tissue. I haven't tried it out on a long ride yet but will report back when I have.

I recently bought a bontrager WSD RL saddle from someone local. I took it for a very short test ride before purchase just to make sure that the 160mm width wouldn't be way too big (I have been measured on the specialized butt-o-meter and was recommended a 143 width for road riding). It felt OK so I bought the seat.
Just took it on an ~18 mile ride and was quite comfortable the whole time. I thought the saddle looked big and squishy but it was actually nicely firm (not rock hard, not like a couch) and apparently my sit bones are wider than I thought... This may also be that I am on my slightly more upright commuter bike. In any event, the saddle seems pretty good so far and has been a pleasant surprise. I usually go for saddles with cut outs, so I was also pleasantly surprised by the complete lack of soft tissue pain....never met a bike that I didn't wanna ride.
