It sounds to me like you're on the right track (I'm the same way).

Specialized saddles are pretty T-shaped, and if you order from the website they have a 30-day return policy.

I'm not sure exactly what the differences are between Specialized's men's and women's saddles, but I'm going to guess that the women's saddles should be more T-shaped because of women's greater Q-angle. The Avatar is a men's saddle.

I'm on a Jett right now, but I am getting a little bit of the problem you describe when I get up over 80-90 miles. I'm wondering if I should've gone straight to a Ruby, if maybe the extra padding isn't causing some of the problem.
