The Brooks Swallow looks pretty flat but I haven't ridden one.
In this regard, the Swallow looks flat, but like all Brooks saddles, it is basically a hammock. The middle of the saddle flexes -- perhaps even more than a B17 since it has little support on the sides. Of course you can adjust the amount of flex by adjusting the tension.
