Worries my new saddle is wrong.

I'll try to not make this long winded. I ride a vintage bike. Had a Selle San Marco Super Corsa saddle that I found out was too narrow. My sit bones measure about 143mm. I swapped out the old saddle for a cheap knock off of a Specialized Power Saddle at 155 width. It feels great as far as soft tissue goes but I do have pain in the front of my hips/groin area.
I got this new saddle in the winter so my first rides we're on a trainer. No pain. Then I started taking it out and the pain came in. It's mostly soreness. No effect on my walking or being able to lift my knees.
Should I try a slightly narrower saddle or just stretch more? The old Super Corsa never caused much pain and I have taken a month off from riding but the soreness came back after a 15 mile ride.
Thanks.
