Default Le pera bare bones vs bare bones with gell?

Does anyone have any experience with both seats. The gell option adds 100.00 and I dont think its worth it. I've got like 70,000 miles in the stock saddle and I think a 2x4 would be an improvement!

I asked the same question about a month ago. Based on the answers I received, I decided to save a hundred bucks and go with the non gel version. I've only had it a little over a week and I haven't rode many miles with my *** on it yet,But so far I can tell you, it's not really that much less comfortable then my stock badlander seat. But it looks Great!
