Careful, that's a delicate question.
I have had a few Belt saddles, and also found that the shapes and comfort varied dramatically. If you look closely, you'll see many different styles - some have stitching around the edge, some have a plastic antistretch layer beneath the leather, etc. Most of them have been quite firm, although sometimes they get soft; I prefer a very firm saddle. My Fujita Professional was my favorite saddle until a rail broke, and I hope to get it repaired someday.
Here's a treat for Fujita fans, a 1965 catalog showing a wide range of models:
