Saddle advice

I've got a Boardman Team Carbon (Ltd Ed) and have been trying to decide whether I need a new saddle. Went out today and decided I definitely do. Bits went numb after about 20 miles and I had to keep standing to relieve the pressure on the perenium (? bit between hole and the chaps!) but just to be sure I'll be going to my LBS just to make sure my position is ok.
I did sit on the Specialized saddle fitting pad in my LBS and the recommended width for me is 143mm.
So, for about £70, what's out there that's comfortable, looks good and will keep my down belows happy for over a long distance. Oh and must be in white to go with the bike!
Have been advised that the saddles with cut outs are the most comfortable as they don't put pressure on the nethers.
Any suggestions gratefully received, LBS has a very limited range of Spesh and a couple of Selle Italia.

I changed the saddle on my boardman for specialized alias 143mm, made riding much more comfortable. Selle italia or specialized with a cut outs will relieve the pressure & numbness. Double checking the saddle is dead level might help also.Pinno, מלך אידיוט וחרא מכונאי0
