I found the nose of the Selle An-Atomica to be too long. My shorts kept catching on it every time I'd stop at a light or stop sign, which is often while commuting. It got so annoying that I returned it.

Wallingford Bicycle Parts is a store that used to be in the Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle, and moved to New Orleans. They specialize in Brooks saddles and are a great source of information about Brooks and fitting and care and all things Brooks-y.
Bill is really the heart and soul of Wallingford, though he's had a few employees wander through. I love talking to him because he's such a fount of information. I had a squeak in one of my Brooks saddle frames and he helped me fix it over the phone.

As it turns out, Brooks has come back out withe thier old Imperial design saddle - which is also split. As this seems the best of both worlds I am going with Brooks. I did find the other saddle to be overly long and narrow - but it was on a bike much too large for me.
