Saddle Help

I am in the process of looking for a saddle to replace the original P.O.S. that came on my Presidio which is a Bontrager Race. The width is pretty decent at 152mm. I was just measured at a LBS on that Bontrager seat you sit on. He said it was at 154mm. Any good quality seats you recommend? I was looking at a Selle Italia Max Flite Genuine Gel, Brooks B17/Team Pro/Swallow, San Marco Rolls/Regal, etc. Any input would help. I'm 6' 300lbs. Hope being an uberclyde doesn't put me out of the running for a Brooks with it being pure leather and all. I posted this originally in the CX Forum but decided to move it here. My seat height is about even with the handlbars. Feels like a comfortable riding position to me so far. Kind of leaning towards the Brooks Team Pro, but some of the others look nice too.

All of them are decent. You'll find a lot of Brooks fans here.
