I am intimidated by Brooks saddles, but I am getting desperate enough to try one.

Wait and see if anyone else comes up with some saddles for you to consider. Brooks saddles take breaking in and some fiddling with tilt. They are not padded, so there isn't a lot of leeway. (no padding to soften the blow if the adjustment is off a tad)

From the "Pear vs. T" thread, it looks like the Specialized Jett might be a possibility, but they are sold out of the widest size on the Specialized site.
