I agree with Joe, the Fizik Aliente is pretty good as non-leather saddles go, if that's the same one I'm thinking of. Mine is much older and is battered beyond recognition at this point. I love the Selle Italia Flite for race bikes, but I can't imagine it working well in as upright a position as you described, and they're getting rare and quite expensive, so I don't think I can agree with that suggestion.
I also like the Brooks C17 with some shellac added to make it smooth; there should be a thread on ibob or maybe here where I posted about that a couple years ago. It has the same sort of soft hammock feeling as a leather saddle once broken in, but is definitely not the same shape as any leather Brooks. However, nothing is more comfortable for me than a well-broken-in Brooks Pro or Idéale 90 (or B17 for upright positions), and since a saddle is better for me the more it feels like one of those, something entirely different that what I've recommended might be better for you.
