I find the B17 to be comfortable. But the B67 is more so. Proximo is correct - no human has ever formed that steel horseshoe under a Brooks. If you maesure your sitbones you can gage what width to look for in a different saddle. Whether or not you buy a Brooks is somewhat imaterial if your sitbones are on the edge of the structure.
Try this:
Cut off teh flaps from a cardboard box. Stack them. Sit on them while you have your dinner, keeping your knees a little above your hips. Measure the indentations center to center. Now you will have a ballpark dimension for selecting a saddle.
If you go with another Brooks, like a luxurious B67, you will want your sitbones to be inside that steel frame bby about 1/2" to 3/4". Your sitbones are surrounded by a fleshy pad that is about the size of a 50cent piece, so you have to figure your bone width, plus about another 1" to 1-1/2". All that should fit inside the frame. A B67 will do that for almost any human.
Brooks saddles are worth it.
