other people seem to be just fine with as b17 and low bars... not me.

Bottom line getting a fitting saddle is less science and more art.....and sometimes a pain
Thanks, I am not having the problem that the OP is but I will definitely keep your advice in mind. Next time I buy a Brooks, I may try the Swift.

Thanks,
