Brooks B17 or B68?

I know these saddles have been much discussed on these forums, but if people can bear a bit more...

I'm very far from a racer: I ride my bike every day, but not too far, not too hard. In the summer I use a Bianchi with swept bars, but I usually hold the tops. In the winter I use a bike with mountain style bars.

So, I'm thinking a B68 is the way to go.

Question: is there any down side to the extra width of the B68? Would it get in the way on my Bianchi? Alternatively, is the B17 fine in the more upright stance?

Thanks for your patience and help.
