I prefer the Finesse for my long-distance bike. (It's on its third bike now.)

With my kind of short femurs (I'm long-torsoed/short-legged), I've never needed a ton of fore/aft adjustment room in my saddles. All of my saddles are placed right around the middle of their rails, so this has never been a big concern for me. I also don't do a ton of steering with my thighs (however, I shift my weight/use body lean a good bit), so having a longer nose to "grip" has never been a priority for me. Also, I ride almost exclusively in skorts, and they're a little less likely to catch on the shorter nose of the Finesse.

So, it's possible that I'm just the perfect confluence of factors for the shorter length Brooks saddles. My dad always did tell me I was perfect. Who knew he was talking about such a niche market for perfection, though? Hah!
