saddle discomfort suggestions

I've been commuting for 6 months now averaging about 60-80 miles/week. I bought a new bike recently and the saddle that came on it has the appearance of a nice saddle, but either it's not or it doesn't fit my geometry adequately. My ride consists of 10 miles one way and I've been experiencing numbness of my butt and upper thighs, extending into my groin sometimes.

Basically, I'm looking into getting a new saddle. I'd like to spend around $50 but am willing to extend it to $100 if need be. I've been looking at the Selle Italias, but is their apparent lack of sheer matter still supportive? I hope someone can shed some light on this. Thanks in advance.
