A slightly differenet saddle question

I've had a Brooks B-17 for about a year. It's broken in and comfortable on my butt but I find that my inner upper thigh still seems to rub on it a bit too much (insert joke here) particularly as I'm leaning over more. So I ordered a B-17 narrow from Nashbar and just took it out for a spin. The narrow though seems a bit too narrow in the butt region though the narrowness in the thigh is appreciated. But basically looking at where the indentations are on my older Brooks, they would be pretty close to the edges on the narrow, more over where the metal supports are so I wouldn't think it would really break in the way the wider one has.

So my question is, has anyone found a seat sorta like the B-17 in the back but that gets narrower quicker so it will clear your thighs? I've ridden one of those Rolls and didn't really like it as it was too cushy and I found the textured leather difficult to adjust on. I like the way smooth leather lets you make micro adjustments of your position as you ride. Maybe a Turbo?
