Road bike saddle...all day ride

Would a Brooks saddle look ok on an aero bike? And how long do they take to break in? 1000km, less? And what happens if once you have broken it in, it doesn't feel comfortable?

Sell it on eBay to a hipster.

I've got a Fizik Antares: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/fizik-antares-v... on my roadie at the moment, and it seems great. Only done a 4 hour max at the moment, but seems better than the old bike which had a Selle Italia jobby.

Have the Antares VS-x on my 'long ride' bike, managed 12 hours on it (16 hr day, 12 in saddle)and it wasn't even a consideration compared to the pain in my legs

Slightly O/T, what's this beast like at climbing and all day rides? I much prefer aero frames but I'm concerned I'm sacrificing comfort for looks?

Judging by that setup, comfort was the only priority.

It's very comfortable for long rides, just working on losing a few spacers though.
