Went to the LBS and kept hearing all of the guys rave about the 2010 Specialized Romin 155.
Decided last weekend to pick on up and see what all of the fuss was about. I got home put it right on the CAAD 9 and went for a 130 mile ride. I was absolutely amazed with how comfortable it was, especially while in the saddle during a few climbs.
I have used the stock seat that came with the CAAD9, a Prologo Kappa pas as well as a few models of Fizik saddles thus far.
The shaping of the saddle puts the correct bones on the saddle and that is it, while the channel in the middle keeps your good bits from getting pinched or crushed. The channel and shaping of the saddle helps to assure good blow flow to the "sensitive" arteries.
After doing my training ride, went out with the girlfriend for a 20 mile ride on the waterfront and even after a few hours of hard riding, I was still very comfortable while sitting the whole time.
I will do a more in depth review when I have some more time on it but I just wanted to express my excitement for a saddle that is finally comfortable and keeps my mind on riding and not the pain.

I like the shape. It looks similar to an SLR (which I love). I'll have to see if I can try one out.
