We've had the leather saddle vs massive padded "Barcalounger" chat Ed and she wants a honey leather saddle and grips anyway. So it made it easier to convince her that ditching the padding might still be the way forward. None of the Brooks range got her very interested though, but I found this on Velo Orange...

It's a wopping 205mm wide and coil sprung, so she's definitely sold on it as an idea. Plus the price is now US$95 (I'm sure these saddles were more expensive a while ago), so it's not extortionate either. Just need to find a few more opinions/reviews about VO saddles and see if the quality matches the look.
