Thanks all for the feedback - very helpful. Now, if I could follow-up with another realted question?? So I think I'm going forward with the Brooks, however I need to determine which model. At this point I'm

deciding between the B17 Special and the Team Professional. The saddles I have now are about 143mm wide, and I seem relatively comfortable on that width. So the Team Pro at 155 wide would seem to make sense vs. the B17 at 170 wide. However I'm reading several posts lamenting the difficulty in breaking in a Team Pro, and in several instances people throwing in the towel on it. So.... any input on this decision????
