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)

If you do decide to try a Brooks, do it through Wallingford Bicycle Parts, www.wallbike.com You get 6 months to return the saddle, and Bill Laine at Wallingford is a fount of information. (he's also a bit of a curmudgeon, but he really is a sweet guy)
