I;ve been on Aliantes for the past five years. Once or twice a year, I'd get a week of saddles sores. Eventually, it got to be enough, and I switched to a Specialized Power earlier this year. I haven't looked back.
It also helps that I got my sitbones sorted out, and the 155 is so much better of a platform than the 143 of the Aliante.
The Power, at least for me, needs to be set with the front half level which makes the tail go up. The short nose gets rid of all that pressure up front, which is a great comfort.
