I'd like to have a look around at what other saddle options are out there.
Can anyone recommend a shop in Perth who let you trial various saddles of a certain brand.
I suppose a small fee would be involved?
What if none of the saddles take my fancy at that place? Can I leave without purchasing a saddle?

I did that at Wembley Cycles with Specialized saddles. Nothing to pay, they have a collection of test saddles. I tried about 4 saddles over maybe 4 months, no dramas. Great program that found me a pew that suited my posterior.

Garland also do the same with Spec saddles, $80 fee. They'll refund it if none of the saddles fit you.

Churchill Cycles in Booragoon have a collection of Selle SMP test saddles if that takes your fancy. They also stock Specialised but I can't recall if they have demo models.

Thanks everyone.
Churchill looks like it could be worth a visit.
