I like my B-17. Most people do, but there are some folks that it just doesn't work for.
Mine was comfortable right out of the box, once I adjusted the nose to tilt up ever so slightly. As I have added miles, it is more comfortable, and great for long rides.
Try one. If it doesn't feel right, return it and try a Selle Anatomica or Terry Liberator or any of the others people recommend here. You're going to spend a lot of time in close contact with it, so it pays to make sure you like it.
Get the saddle now, put some miles on it and break it in before you tour. You don't want to start a tour on a new saddle.
