One point I'd make is that wide leather saddles are usually found on bikes without a lot of drop from set to handlebar, and for many people don't work well in an agressive position on a road bike.
Some people use a narrower Brooks Swift in that application. YMMV.
You might alos consider a Fizik Kurve. The flex shell of the Kurve is kind of a modern take on how a lether saddle works.
