I’ve had loads of saddles & always suffered numbness,hard skin spots after 30+ miles either too padded,or not enough,tried ISM without nose for a couple of years good saddle but still got pain in my sitbones.
I then took a punt on a selle anatomica I now don’t suffer at all no pains,sores etc,I’ve more energy to ride with the only draw back is a leather saddle is heavier,& needs to be looked after try not to get it wet too I carry a cover for it.
Saddles are personal though what one person likes another will hate,also experiment with adjustment it takes time to get that dialled in too.
The biggest expense is when you have to kit 4 bikes out with the same seat but I cannot put a price on comfort.
