Is this a new Arione Tri saddle? Give it a few weeks to break in before swapping it around. Traditional road saddles tend to not translate over to tri bikes very well.
Your position will play a big part in this. Are you way aggressive or a lot more upright? An upright position might allow a road saddle to be used ocmfortably.
Life is short. Play hard and get dirty doing it.

My first instinct (mind you, it's based on absolutely no experience whatsoever) is that a leather saddle like that won't take well to the wet butt you'll have after T1.

The Adamo is pretty neat. I have only test ridden it. Not sure I wanna give up my San Marco Trigel for it, tho!

I am looking for some feedback on this saddle from people using it on their tri bikes. I have read alot of great feedback about this saddle on traditional road bikes on other discussion groups, but I want to know if anyone is using it on a tri bike.
I have a Fizik Arione Tri now that came off my road bike and feels so-so on my tri bike. And yes, the bike was fitted by a tri shop and the fit is spot on.
