Don't know what's changed, but can't do more than 30 miles without my ass going dead so looking for a saddle upgrade, is anyone willing to let me try out their Sargent seat or air hawk for an afternoon to help me decide what direction to go.
Feck my ass hurts

The problem is your ass, not the bike.

Bit of a schlep but if you can get to Camberwell then welcome to try the Sargent
Bykebitz used to do a 30 Day money back guarantee for Airhawks

Why not give them a call and see if they still do it?

Personal questions -
Are you under 45?
Do you get the buttock pain at any other times?
Does it feel like a pulled muscle?

My seat experiences -
- Standard GSA - Use-able but too high for me and a bit narrow so weight on perineum area got uncomfortable.
- Standard GS - Just right for height but a 1" x 2" lump at the back in the middle (what is that about) dug right into my tail bone.
- Sargent - I found the standard height too hard, the edge dug into my leg and the seat width made reaching the floor even harder. Lower height solved the digging and leg reach but left my knees crimped and handlebars too high.
- Kahedo standard height solved the leg reach issue and didn't dig into my inside leg. It's also more supportive so no perineum discomfort and no lump in the plastic pan to dig into my tail bone.
In Brighton - That'd be a "Dashing White Sargent" ?
Mind you - he might come away with an even-sorer arse.............

Will call them tomorrow. Only a 15 minute ride.

I asked because early signs of a spinal disc problem can be misleading. Another one is a feeling like a sprained ankle after walking or running even though you've not injured the ankle. You are the right age (older folks cant get a disc prolapse), but you dont sound like a candidate.
A fall onto coccyx in the past can predispose to pain while sitting, making a lumpy seat especially uncomfortable.
If you have the standard GS seat, feel at the back through the padding. If you can find a central lump under the padding its likely that's digging in. It did with me so I ended up with a standard height Kahedo seat.

Nah, take care and you've got another 60 years. 
Take up cycling! In no time at all you'll have an arse as tough as a rhinoceros and will feel no pain in that area again!

Have you tried playing a bit with the standard seat? raise the front to the tall position, rear adjuster to the low and give it a whirl, worked for me
