For me, the SI lady saddles (Diva + Lady Gel flow, SLR Lady) seemed to be too narrow and my sitbones weren't in the right position (more on the very edge of the saddles). I kept sliding off the edges.
I know, saddle-fit is very personal, and your sitbone-width is a tiny bit narrower too, but if you feel numbness after your rides, maybe you could try a wider saddle too.

I'm still searching for the perfect saddle myself, it's just a thought ATM I'm trying a Specialized Ruby, it's good to sit on it, but the sharp edges are a bit mean to my thighs when things get rough.
Susan,

Thanks for your thoughts on this. My position is very upright and that cannot change. The SI saddles have been fine in the width department - the issues aren't with the "rear" at all. My sit bones are quite comfy and I feel very well supported there. The issue, with all saddles, has been in the nose area.

I am thinking the Lady Gel Flow will probably work for me - the cutout is more narrow and isn't as long as the Diva Gel Flow, which should provide enough support to the sides to prevent numbness from all of that pressure on such a small area. The only problem with the regular Diva is with my soft tissue...
