Brooks B17 with upright bars

Recently replaced the drop bars on my Schwinn Prelude with upright ones, and it has a B17 saddle that's not very well broken in. It worked okay with the drops, but the first ride with the upright bars, the saddle gave me some pain -- possibly because I hadn't ridden any distance for a while, maybe. But I stopped and tipped the front up and slid it forward a bit. Couldn't tell much difference. Do many folks use a Brooks B17 with upright bars, or should I look for some other saddle?
