For flatwings, check out the lower grades. They may do what you want better then the high grades while costing a lot less.
Lower grades will generally have wider feathers. Often the silver and gold grades (depending on the type of feather) have very thin feather, sometimes too thin for saltwater for most flatwings.
Some of the best flatwing saddles I've ever seen were "pro" grade from Whiting, which is bottom of the barrel. Unfortunately I think they've done away with that grade on some styles of feather.
