Brooks C17 questions

Anyone out there running a C17? Have any comparisons or opinions about that saddle vs a modern saddle? I have a bike with a Fizik Antares VS and currently debating on a switch. I've done numerous centuries on the Fizik but just for the sake of change I wanted to go with a Brooks like almost every other bike in my fleet. This bike is the only one to see a lot of rain, I hear the C17 is pretty resistant to rain, I rather not gets true leather saddle wet. How is the surface on the C17? It doesn't look as slick as a modern saddle or a B17 for that matter. Does that affect the feel? Is it stiff like a new B17 or modern race saddles? I know saddles are a very personal thing but since there's no one around here that has one and no shop stocks them I would like some opinions before pulling the trigger.
