My B17 Imperial is pure awesomeness and I have been pretty happy with my Ideale Professional which is a wider saddle than the Brooks... also ride on a Wright's W35N and an older wrights W3N which is not as narrow and very comfortable on my drop bar bikes with fairly level saddle to bar relationships.
If one has a more upright position on a road bike with a level saddle to bar drop a B17 can work well.
