Isn't there a decent saddle for $40 somewhere?
I just got this one for less than $40:
(Selle Italia Q-Bik Flow Steel on Amazon, if the clicky picture doesn't work right.) For me it feels a little narrow though I'm getting used to it (it's 140mm) but for you I bet it'd be ok.
ETA: I do have to tilt the nose down a bit to be comfy on it, but not too much. Plus I think Selle makes their saddles with droopy noses in mind. If you want to try it out sometime, let me know. You can borrow it for a bit.
