I too need/ride a 160mm wide saddle. I've experimented with quite a few in recent years..the Romin evo being one, and no joy. The most comfortable saddles I've ridden have no padding at all. The Romin didn't fail me due to the lack of padding..it just wasn't comfortable.
A saddle I rode on several bikes for a few years was the Selle SMP TRK. Looks a bit usual, but a comfortable saddle. I've since been swapping g my TRKs out for various Brooks saddles.
In order of most comfort, the best is a B17-Imperial. After that, a B17 Standard or a C17 cut out. I tried the C17 Standard..nope..the cut out version is much better...for me.
I wouldn't use saddle padding as a criteria in your search..it can lead you down continued rabbit holes and cost you some $.
