I had an S mistakenly shipped in place of the B17 Std I actually ordered. As far as I could tell, they had the same shape but it was as if someone removed 2cm from the nose portion of saddle (according to Brooks B17S is 23mm shorter than B17 std).

Good luck. I believe finding a comfortable saddle is a never-ending pursuit for a significant portion of bicyclists.
