Favorite touring saddle for big guy? (leminal.space)

Apparently, finding a saddle is my new hobby. I have wide sit bones (160 mm or so), I weigh about 89kg, and stand 194cm. ("healthy" BMI)

The only rideable saddles I own are a Velo Plush Hybrid PU leather and an M/L Ergon ST Gel. Smaller saddles are right out (I have a number of those.)

This is for long days on and off road. My last overnighter left me with tender spots. 🙁

I have "wide" sit bones and am on a narrow saddle, Selle Italia SLR Boost 3D S3 on my areo road bike and the Boost Endurance on my gravel, both are super comfy for me and have done multiple 300 - 500km rides. I am around the same height but slightly heavier than you around 95kg.

They do a larger L3 version, but I have found them to grate on the inside of my thighs. The 3D printed on I find keeps me more stable (and is grippier) and the difference in padding is around the same, but the 3D one is very expensive.
