I recently switched from a Selle Italia Max Flite Lady Trans Am to the Fizik Vitesse women's saddle. I had put about 2500 miles on the Trans Am and have put about 500 on the Vitesse. So far so good. I wasn't uncomfortable on the Trans Am but I was getting a lot of saddle sores from the edges. There is a pretty sharp, almost right angle, drop off from the top to the sides. The Vitesse is gradual. I did like the cut out with the Trans Am so that is taking some adjustment, but I think it will work in the long run.
