Have used an SMP Dynamic quite a bit and really like it. Find it good for the type of riding where I'm not moving around in the saddle too much. Long road riding, mtb without extended steep climbing, touring, that sort of thing. Basically, sitting in the intended position it is very comfortable, shuffle forward and it's horrible (for me). Started a road crit with it once and almost thought I wouldn't finish it was so uncomfortable sitting on the nose.

Not hugely relevant, but [url= http://www.edinburghbicycle.com/products/selle-royal-seta-s1-oe-saddle ]these Selle Royal Seta S1's are pretty cheap[/url] £10 down from £50

I have SMP saddles on the TT bike (ordinary saddle shapes just didn't work for me in a very forward, low position) and I put one on the general purpose bike this summer after doing some Audax events and discovering that the existing saddle that I thought was OK actually wasn't very comfortable at all for long events.
The TT saddle is the Dynamic (lightly padded). The work bike is a Forma, which is unpadded, but is incredibly comfortable. As mentioned above, they're designed so you can get the most comfortable position without squashing anything sensitive, and then stay there , so I'm not sure how well they would work on the MTB if you want to slide around a bit.
