Just for the record, I was never comfortable on my B17 either. It could be I didn't break it in correctly 30 yrs ago. I remember finally using Neatsfoot oil on it overnight, to make it soften and flex a little, and I may have overdone it. Also it did get wet a few times. It's got a sag now, which causes me to sink in forward of the metal rail. Have the tension bolt way tight already. It's still on the Raleigh Gran Sport, which now does trainer duty for me. Of course, no saddle lasts forever.

Our local PBP rider loves his Team Pro, and it seems to me the solid leather would have to be cooler and drier than the nylon/composite saddles. I may try another one someday, but without any break-in oil next time.
