I'm actually thinking I may just stick with my Brooks. For some reason I'd been thinking it weighed 550 grams, but it's only 350. That's only 100 grams heavier than most of the saddles that I've been trying. That's only 3.5 ounces - not a huge amount of weight in my mind. And I don't notice my saddle when I'm racing.
My husband on the other hand has the heavier Brooks with steel rails - mine are Ti. He wants something lighter.
Competitive Cyclist is more expensive but they do have an unconditional 60 day return policy.

I ended up not liking any of the saddles in the demo. But Thom ordered me a Selle Italia SLK Lady Gel Flow Saddle that I just rode for a 45 minute DVD. I like it. It's a tad shorter than the saddles in the kit and just a smidge wider at 145 mm x 265mm. The padding is not very thick or squishy. I'll take it out on the road tomorrow.

I just checked out that SI SLK Lady Gel Flow...and it has my interest.
I'm looking forward to hearing your report on the on-road test ride. Thanks!
