Eric, split hammock leather saddles accomplish two things - their cooling is out of this world.
Second, each side of the hammock moves independently with your legs, which prevents chaffing on a wider saddle like the SA.

It was the first saddle I tried on my Moser - here's a front view, it's not a bad-looking saddle.



But here's how much it stretched in the first 8 miles - so much that the saddle let go of the stretch bolt and I had to stop in a bike shop to borrow tools and reassemble it. Take along the tool to stretch the bolt on rides as needed - eventually it should stabilize.
But our OP needs something to get him out on the bike, and I think this saddle is it.
If it's not this, it's probably the sprung Brooks B67
