Realistically, though, I think that large a cut-out might cause saddle sores/pressure points around the edges since there's just less saddle to perch on. I am a cutout gal for sure, but a smaller cutout distributes my weight better so there's not so much pressure in just a few small points on the saddle.
This is what I found - the Diva caused numbness for me because the cutout was too wide and the sides were too narrow. The Lady (not SLR) turned out to have the perfect proportion for length/width of cutout and and support. I was fortunate enough to have an LBS that demos saddles and I tested multiple saddles before testing this one after TE women suggested I try it.
