I wish I would have bought mine sooner. I spent several weeks and several hundred dollars testing out various plastic-shell saddles, but stopped my search as soon as I bought/tried the B17.

Pros: Comfort
Looks
Longevity

Cons: Heavy
Not cheap
May require a seatpost with LOTS of offset

Would Buy Again: Yes
Would Recommend: Yes

Excellent comfort and elegant appearance

The Brooks B17 is a longstanding classic for a reason. It's comfortable and makes any ride look better. The special has the extra features of hand hammered copper rivets and copper rail which get a nice darkish patina over time. There's also some detailing along the skirt of the saddle that give it an extra shot of class. It may not be a lightweight saddle but if you value comfort over grams then you can't go wrong with the B17 Special.

Pros: Comfort, quality, appearance, cachet

Cons: Heavy for the carbon fiber crowd, have to protect it from water
