SMP Glider Anyone? Other SMP rider input welcome too.

I have been demoing the Selle SMP Glider now for about 3 weeks. I am always on the search for the "ultimate" saddle. Prior to this demo my fav seat is the Specialized Ruby.

I love the SMP and will probably buy one here soon. I am demoing the Glider which has a little padding, not much though. The full cut out allows to get into the drops without too much pressure. BTW - the only differecnce between the men's and women's saddles in this brand is color! I have not gone beyond a 60 mi ride on it yet but so far so good!

My current fave is the Selle SMP Plus... the Selle SMP Avant is also a winner for me.

DH loves the Selle SMP TRK.

I just got a Glider at the suggestion of my fitter. I was on my stock Fuji saddle, where sit bones were fine, but had soft tissue discomfort on longer rides. I've used my Glider in a spin class for an hour, then a three hour ride Saturday. Right off, WAY stiffer than my prior saddle, and I definitely feel new pressure points, but no tissue discomfort. More like when you start riding at the beginning of the season and have to break in your butt again. It also really forces me down into my drops, which I'm not used to (I'm getting shorter reach bars, too). How long did it take you all to break it in? I want it to work, and I think it will, but it's really hard right now.
