I learned that the hard way. After insisting and believing I needed a cutout continued chafing kicked my butt. I decided to go out on a limb and retry the SSM aspide glamour with the little SCOOP. Took it out for another ride today after a couple initial trainer rides. Two hours and I can't say perfect comfort, needs a little tweeking (nose down, forward) but I love the fact that I didn't get any rubbed spots. A little numbness and two seconds out of the saddle and that is fixed. I am really rethinking the whole cutout thing in general. WOW.
