GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

End of rant.
Look at Specialized or Fizik as well. Both have a device to measure your sit bone width to recommend a saddle width. Also, most good bike shops allow you to return a saddle within a reasonable period of time if you don't like it. On-line stores like Competitive Cyclist, and others, as well.
