I have experimented with Terry saddles and I have found them to be too narrow--including the new Falcon X. So I measured my sitbones and bought a Specialized Alias and so far my tush is very happy.
Specialized offers some of their saddles in 3 widths. I really like their saddles.
When you do find a good saddle, you might want to consider using Chamois Butt'r or something to help reduce any friction or soreness you may experience after being in the saddle for long rides. Plus it will prolong the life of your chamois.

When you find a saddle you really like, buy two!

I know that it will take time... but I truly believe this is just not the right saddle. It came with the bike and is generic and just doesn't fit. I go tonight to the bike shop where they have recommended a brand for me... they are going to let me try it for a week. I will keep you posted.

Am in love with my (two) Fizik Ariones. Love them more each time I ride. But everyone's different.
Good luck

Like Liza, I am in love with my Fizik Arione. The cut outs don't work for me. The Arione is just right, plus I was able to find the team seat version for T-Mobile that looks awesome on my bike!!
If I can't go fast, at least I look good.
