awaiting delivery on my Surly Long Haul Trucker. I need to add/change a few things, one of them being the saddle

I will need need to change the saddle, and had my mind set on a Brooks B17. However, I have read that a GILLES BERTHOUD Aspin saddle is better? Costs a a few ponds more, but would like to hear from those who have used both saddles. My bars and saddle height will we equal (saddle may be a bit higher than bar height)
