Avocet Touring WII saddle replacement

I dithered around about replacing my saddle until the Avocet Touring
WII was discontinued, and soon the old saddle will be worn so badly
that a saddle that doesn't quite fit would be more comfortable.

Which currently-available saddle is the least-bad substitute for an
Avocet Touring WII?

That was made by Selle Italia. Maybe look for their Turbo
Lady, very similar product (also discontinued).

My butt likes Specialized, search there. Hard butt compliiant.

Shoe Goo on an isopropyl cleaned dry surface repairs saddles with a thick pliable ong lasting coating. With cool temps and cooled Shoe Goo, the appl;ication is self leveling with a cut ploy jug speader as with fiberglas work.

Buy from Home Depot. Shoe Goo has several types use the outdoor type.
The auto type is hardest.

Shoe Goo cures with a deep toxic fume release.

Try placing a grocery store plastic carry bag over the seat after gooing or ot herwise. A bagged saddle reduces friction for butt and saddle giving more touring mileage before butt death

curing Goo takes at least a week in moderate temps. Itsnot an apartment op.

Not exactly "currently available" but I've heard good stuff about the Avocet O2 Women's model, both for male and female riders.

These NOS ones even look reasonably priced:

the Beeson saddle shape suggests 'hillclimbing' but is a hillclimbing shape more comfy for a large female butt ? Our gluteals differ tween M/F, in fiber structure or fat layers or butt ?

I have not seen a woman climbing a hill.
