There is a world of difference between the Brooks and some of the others. I ride most of my bikes fairly upright, the only time the springs come into play is on very sharp bumps, it reduces the jarring that I would get otherwise. Many sprung saddles you see on the market are oversprung and feel nice and cushy when you poke on them but become painful after a longer ride. Saddles are a personal choice and the Brooks falls into three camps, those that love them, those that hate them, and those that have never tried them. I still have a couple of unsprung leather saddles but they are on bikes I don't ride very much. Aaron I do use the sprung Brooks saddles.
