If the saddle works, use it.
Brooks.
Pee before your race, you will make up the difference in weight. Take a dump, even better.
Metal is not that much worse to bump than hard plastic shell.
Put some proofhide on the leather and it will be weatherproof. (just ask some of the Seattlelites on TE who ride Brooks year 'round.)
Cost doesn't matter when you are looking at a lifetime of sexual dysfunction and incontinence. Ask me how I know (5 years of working in pelvic rehab teaches you more than you'll ever want to know about how crotches work).
Suck it up. Do the right thing. Ride the saddle that works already.

ETA: sorry to be crude and blunt, but g*d***it I'm jaded by listening to people complain about how they've found the perfect saddle but don't want to use it. Pull up those big girl panties, already! Half a pound is ONE CUP OF PEE. Fer goshsakes ladies, go to the bathroom! Do that, and you completely eliminate (literally) the weight difference. If your sorry excuse for muscles can't cope with 8 oz, you shouldn't be racing anyway.
