Looks cool, interesting, but personally wouldn't work for me. I'd be concerned with chaffing, my Toupe and San Marco are both 130mm saddles, that one is listed as wider at 140mm.
Both of my saddles have some spring to them, ideally that's part of comfort... you'd want that for a sort of suspension effect I imagine... That 's effectively your cushioning system.
Since a little flex isn't your style, I'm thinking that carbon saddle isn't for you, try one of these:
