I don't think there would be an issue with a B17 as far as weight. I do, however, think you may end up considering a saddle with a cutout. If a B17 or a B67 is causing pressure where you don't want any pressure, you'll try tilting the nose down, but tilting the nose down enough to get the front of the saddle out of the way makes you slide forward off the saddle.
