Pain in the nuts - Comfortable saddle / cycling shorts combo

I recently changed over to a pair of Altura Gel cycling shorts.

The padding really didn't seem 'sufficient' (hey, I'm not modest) after a month or so, but I thought I'd be able to cope - but recently I've noticed that I've been getting a bit of 'discomfort' around the groin area after cycling for a long time.

I've also recently changed to a Fizik Aliante saddle.

Could you guys recommend a pair of cycling shorts that have better padding around the 'delicate' areas?

Also, if I was going to go for a more 'comfortable' saddle, what should be top of my list? A Brooks, perhaps?

    Brooks Swallow in Titanium :-) Once you get a decent saddle thicker padding in your shorts isn't necessary.
    Say... That's a nice bike..

    Good luck with that query - one man's armchair is another man's razor blade. :)
