Steve, remember that regardless of what seat you choose, seat position is critical. With what I would call a traditional style seat, the angle it is at makes a big difference. For me, mine is almost level. I have seem them pointed down or up as well; it all depends on the shape of your bottom.

Forward and back positioning is also very important because that determines where your knees are in relation to the crank arms. If your seat is too far forward or back, or set too high or low, you can put unnecessary strain on your knees, especially if you ride in big gears. You can really chew up a knee quickly mixing big gears and the wrong seat position.

Handlebar position may also be a factor so getting everything right may take some tinkering, but in my experience of doing a lot of road riding years ago, it is worth it.
