Hi Michael,
The Pure is a good fairly neutral saddle for a lot of folks, I'm surprised that you like the Pure but not the 611 Active running them on the same bike. Did you buy them in the same width? Same width with the 60X? Where was the discomfort mainly if I can ask a personal question - sit bones?
I prefer a shorter saddle as my \#1 go-to. It was the WTB Koda but now if I didn't review bike products I think I'd just buy a few BikeYoke Sagma saddles and forget there were other options.
If I truly understood why the 60X works well for me on steeper seat angle bikes I certainly would have gone into more details, but it does. It feels more like my legs are actuating like I'm on a bike with a slacker STA, as I'd prefer. It's enough of a different compared to other saddles that I've hung on to the 60X as I feel it opens up bikes that normally I immediately wouldn't get along with.
When I read comments like yours my first thought is always about saddle libraries. I know plenty of folks who would spend a pile of treasure on their unicorn saddle if they could try a selection of them first. If I'm ever in a position to run my own shop it's a community service I'll find a way to provide.
