The Fizik Arione CX is my saddle of choice. That being said, I think comfort and performance are the sum of the synergistic effect of 4 things, anatomical shape, riding posture, chamois type, and saddle. For me the Arione CX in combination with the Pearl Izumi 3D pad allows me to ride all day (160-200km) with a high level of comfort while using no chamois creme whatsoever. Unfortunately for the wallet, finding the right setup is more of a trial and error process than a science. Good luck finding what works best for you!
The first saddle I bought was the Arione, and I never get soreness with it. The only problem I have is with my new shorts that somehow seem too pinch my ... erm... hairs. It feels like the shorts pull on them and the hair follicles get sore. with my cheap shorts it doesnt happen. I guess its more about the padding material.
On pay day, if i have the cash I will get myself a new saddle, bars and possibly i might just get myself a lovely dura ace crank!
