I had the same numbness issue as you. After reading all of the hype about the Specialized Toupe saddle, I bought one. I didn't really want to spend that much on a saddle but I figured if it did the trick, it would be well worth the money. I got the Toupe 143 and other than than the trainer, I only have about 100 miles on the road with the saddle. I have no more numbness and I would buy the Toupe saddle again in a heart beat. I say give the Toupe a shot and if it doesn't work, you could always sell it on ebay.
