Yet Another Saddle Thread

I currently ride a Fizik Vitesse HP, but I am finding that it is just a bit too wide. Normally this would dictate that I pick up the men's version, the aliante, but if I am to buy a saddle, I'd like to know what other options are out there. I am looking for a saddle that is in the 140mm range for width (current saddle is 150)

I know that saddles are very personal as everyone's butt is different, but I am looking for saddles similar to the aliante. A hammocked saddle is a must, I tried a flat saddle such as the arione for months and that just didn't end up working out for me. I like firm, but not rock hard, padding. I honestly don't know how a cut-out saddle would feel, so I am not entirely opposed to the idea. Although I am female, I need a saddle on the narrow side with respect to the area where the nose meets the rear part of the saddle, or my legs get cut into.

Just a few suggestions of what brands and models I could be looking at would be nice
