So your carved B17 is a B17 Inperial? With a cutout through the middle?

I like most of the saddles we've been talking about: B17 Imperial, recent Brooks Professional, B17 Standard and Select, Ideale 92, Selle Anatomica (H, X, T, and the old nameless ones. I'm experimenting with a Brooks Select B15 Swallow, along with the recent Professional.
