I just bought a Selle SMP TRK. The male's version is 160 mm wide, the female version is 170. I went with the male one.
Went for a 24 mile test ride. No issues at all with perineum/sitbones/bits of pleasure(tm)
So if you find a real road orientated saddle too hard and want a bit more padding this may be a good one to try. CRC has them for £35.
The bike I used it on is a touring bike with a moderate road position. It's made for more upright but I found it worked for me anyway.
There's a little chafing on the inner thighs, so if you are very susceptible to chafing there it may not work for you. Selle SMP also does a Hybrid saddle which is 140 wide after that it's up to very £££ road saddles.
But I've no soreness at all, so happy enough.
