A bit more research has revealed the following distinctions between the women's Brooks sprung saddles. Dimensions are width x length (am including the Champion Flyer S to aid others in their research):

Countess: 172 x 235, vents, no bag loops, 820g
B67 S: 210 X 235, vents, bag loops, 850g
Champion Flyer Special 'S': 174 X 245, no vents, bag loops, 800g

Subtracting the saddle width from my ischials measurement gives me 16mm ischials-to-saddle edge on the Countess, vs 35mm on the 67 S. Methinks the B67 S would keep more of my bum on the saddle, thus offering a more comfortable, better-supported ride.

Is this conclusion accurate?
