Don't get suspension on that budget, it'll be heavy, you won't need it for the type of riding you do, and bobbing around on suspension wastes pedaling effort.
Saddles are tricky, what you find comfortable depends on your shape, weight, how much you move around when cycling, and how flexible you are. I've had saddles that had minimal padding that I felt were comfortable, and I've had saddles that were cushy but uncomfortable.
And they have skyrocketed in price, mine was about £30 five years ago..i think they are around £90 now.
@goldtop there are different models of Brooks; the B17 is quite wide but the Swift and Swallow are closer in shape to a Spoon

Though with this weather now I really do need a pair of shorts haha.
I rode it most days for work (hopefully will again soon!), anywhere between 10 & 15m a day, and it's generally first choice for most rides as you can change your mind if you see an interesting bridleway or WHY you feel you'd like to explore.
