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.
I think they tweaked the Jett saddle a ton. The one on my roadie was on massive clearance and has to be from 2008 or something. I bought a Jett Expert a few months ago to have a backup saddle, and the newer Jetts seem to have a smaller, shallower depression/cutout that doesn't extend as far back, and more padding. (Even more so with the Jett on my CX bike, which was a take-off from someone on here.) I don't like with one on my cross bike anywhere near as much as I like the one on the road bike.

If you've got a Performance near you, they'll take a saddle back if it doesn't work out, but that still means plonking down the cash. (They don't carry them in the smaller stores, at least, though.) ;/
