I echo this! I have had a leather saddle for 10 years (not the same saddle, but same brand) - it's a San Marco. No cut outs, just looks like a real cool saddle with gold trim. The leather does conform to your butt. It takes a couple of weeks, but you'll throw rocks at anything else.

I have an mtb that came with a fancy cut out saddle & it isn't nearly as comfortable. (Full suspension mtb, so can't be the ride) It's soft and wider than my "male" saddle.

Disclaimer - I have narrow sit bones - never had kids, so they never spread out (so I'm told)
