For me, some saddles need a cutout and some don't. I find a plain old Flite to be excellent without a cutout, it's the flatter saddles (flat from from to back, that is) that cause problems for me without a channel.
I'm currently trying a San Marco Aspide on the winter bike, as it looked to me to be a lot like a Romin but with a smoother shape, and a stiffer shell (both of which appealed to me). And it feels a lot like that, though it's quite narrow, and for the next ride I need to tilt it up a touch as I didn't get the angle quite right and I found myself sliding forward onto a section that was a bit too narrow to be comfortable. Promising though.
