You might want to check out the Fizik Vitesse. They retail for more than $100, but you can often find them on eBay for much less. Fizik markets the Vitesse as a women's saddle, but it is nearly identical to the Aliante except 1 cm wider (15 cm total). I was using Brooks B17s on my road bikes until I picked up a Vitesse in a swap. I liked it so much that I've now put them on all of my bikes. To me, the Vitesse is more comfortable than a B17 and weighs less than half as much (with the ti rails version); it has a pleather cover. The most I've paid for any of my Vitesse saddles is about $40, and most I bought for about $20.
