I had a similar experience with the C17: I tried it on my Appaloosa with Albatross and it was only ok for short distances. I put the C17 on a Roadini with drops and it's excellent there. I now have a B17 Standard on the Appaloosa.
I saw Will's statement on the carved saddle and, though I haven't made the leap of getting a carved C17, I would tend to agree with him based on my experiences. I was reluctant to go to a C19 because the sit bone width wasn't a problem with the C17. --Ed C.
