Brooks B67 with springs isn't a hot and sexy performance saddle. (though I do use mine in races.) They make hot and sexy saddles that are expensive and on the racy side, but they are still going to be leather.
I had a fizik once that was very hot and sexy looking, with minimal padding and a nice long narrow nose. It was wide enough for my heinie, too! And it just oozed "serious cyclist/racer" image. I don't remember which fizik it was, but I'm sure some TE'er ride fizik and could give model reccs.
That fizik was pretty darn nice, try one if you get the chance!
Try lots! (and take notes so you remember how the various saddles felt)
