Saddles

I'm awaiting delivery of my new Steamroller frame set and have gathered all the pieces for the build minus one - the saddle. I want leather and am leaning toward the Selle Anatomica. My question is for any fellow Clydesdale out there with experience with this brand of saddle : I'm 250# + and am wondering if I should purchase the model without the cutout, the NSX, or go for the X series which has the cutout. I've watched a video on YouTube that said the cutout was okay for riders 200#+, yet also saw a chart online that indicated riders 250# and above should use the NSX. Will a 250# rider cause the X series to flare and cause it to dig into the thigh or can the tension bolt eliminate that?

As always, any and all feedback/direction is appreciated.
