Bianchi sells a Velo brand saddle on their site that I absolutely love (kinda reminds be of the Velo Plush saddle). It takes about a week to break it and only costs $20. It's a synthetic saddle with a nice groove down the center, and it's pretty wide, unlike some "racing" saddles out there.

I've tried two B17's in the past (about a year of usage) and have mixed feelings about them when riding in street clothes. When wearing my bib shorts, I can be on a Brooks saddle all day long...but I tend to find discomfort in street clothes. And I really don't enjoy wearing cycling shorts under my jeans. OP, saddle choice is very personal so you've just got to take a leap and see if one works for you. The break in period with any saddle sucks, but life sure is good once you've found your perfect match.
