Hi,
I'm using Brooks Flyer and my wife B68.
Brooks saddle is made from hard leather. The thing is that it will not feel hard, because it get the shape of your bum, and then it feels very good. So there is a break in period that the leather is shaping.
My suggestion is, ride with your current saddle. If after 100km you feel soar, this can be solved with Brooks.
If you feel good after a long ride, then just keep your current saddle.
There are a lot of people here that don't use Brooks.
I found that in long rides I really feel good on the saddle.
Regards,
Kfir
