corbin vs. lowering links

I now have lowering links with stock saddle and the height is good for me. Now I need to get a better saddle (duh!). Will you guys give me some feedback on 1). A dip saddle without lowering links or 2). A flat Corbin with lowering links. I suppose my only concern, whether it be warranted, is if the standard flat Corbin allows bike "huggability" off the road and if the dip saddle is as comfortable on long trips. Trending toward the flat saddle and lowering links. Thanks, Rod

Every tire I've had on this bike seems to be able to handle 20psi on the street without a problem. They won't live very long, bit they do seem to handle it without flying apart. The rear knobby I've had on the street at 15psi quite a few times. I just keep the speed down under 35mph and head for the nearest gas station. RM
