Too many models to make a choice. :/ I'm confused.

Zoom, you've used a Jett, but what version was it? It seems like the Jett I have on the road bike (picked up on clearance--it's got the gray sit spots) seems firmer than the current version. It's got some squish at the sit spots and a bit at the nose, but it's not as cushy as more recent ones. Something between the Ruby and the Jett in firmness would be good, but if it's about equivalent to the old Jett, we're good.

I *think* the Jett is okay on my CX bike. Still playing around with the position, but I haven't gotten enough miles in yet to say for sure.

(I should have picked one up when I still had my job...)
I hated the Jett saddle that came with my Specialized Amira. Not enough of a cutout. In fact, I placed it on my mountain bike (because the saddle that comes with the Santa Cruz Juliana was even worse)....thinking that I could live with it since I am more upright on my mountain bike than my road bike. Unfortunately, I just got an abrasion from that saddle. I'll probably be donating my Jett to Teamestrogen AFTER I get a new saddle for my birthday. I REALLY want to try a Selle SMP saddle, such as the SMP Chrono. But no LBS in my area with these demos in stock. So, I will stick with my Selle Italia Max SLR Gel flow which has worked great for me so far. I sure got lucky finding the right saddle on my second try.
