Brooks saddle for women

My wife is considering a Brooks saddle for her Surly Cross Check. She has problems with her feet going numb and we've tried must other potential solutions to this problem with limited success, including bike fittings. I have a B-17 on my single speed and it's the most outrageously comfortable saddle I've ever had. My question is whether to get the standard B-17 or the women's model. Also, go with the cut-out or not? My wife is 5'7" and about 170-180lbs. If we went to a shop that does the Specialized fitting with the "memory foam" stuff, what would that tell us with regard to a Brooks?
Appreciate any advice so we don't spend $100+ on another piece of equipment that doesn't fit.
