If you prefer a fairly upright posture, and your bars are well above the saddle, and you have broad hips, I'd recommend the B.67 or B.67S over the Flyer. They're wider at the back, so you won't feel like you're spilling over, and the soft tissue pressure is borne over a larger area. The fabled break-in period relates to the comfort of your sit bones on the firm leather, and not much else.
I do think you're on the right track with a Brooks instead of a more popular squishy saddle to compress up into your parts and trap heat and chafe, as unfortunately most modern saddles tend to do.
Without seeing you on the bike from the side, one can only speculate about whether there are other fit issues affecting your comfort.
I admire your response to the electric flack.
