I have gone through 5 saddles before I bought an SMP. I have the SMP Plus which is a little larger with more padding.

I have had a somewhat of a mixed experience with it. The SMP is the only saddle I have tried where I did not have any numbness or soft tissue pain in the groin area. However, it is little harder on the sit bones than my last saddle, a Selle Anatomica. Most of the time, I have no problems with the sit bone issue but on occasion, I can feel it. I need to stand every half hour or so for a few seconds and that seems to solve the problem.

You might try different bike shorts. That is what I have been considering doing.
