Great saddle, wrong ergonomics on my bike.

Any experiences with the B67 for upright riding? It is one of the suggested models for upright seating at the Brooks website.
I have a love hate relationship with leather saddles (selle anatomica nsx, brooks b 17 and team). That said the B67 is fine. You can dislike leather saddles and still think that leather saddles rock for sitting upright.
