I've seen the Berthoud saddles in the flesh (should that read leather)
and they look awful compared to the Brooks.
The back is plastic, the leather is mottled and the shape loots
malformed. They might be a dream to ride, but
just on looks a Brooks wins.
The Cork Berthoud saddles are tanned
That's my experience with B-17s. The only one that has been comfortable is
the one on the Sam with bar flats just under an inch higher than saddle;
though I ride a lot in the deepish Noodle drops. The only factor that makes
me anxious is the chafing of the, you guessed it, nose in the crotchal
On the Geared Hub Yahoo List, there was a recent saddle discussion. Someone
mentioned that the women's Team Pro-S has the same width as a B17, but a
shorter nose. I don't know if the top is as flat as a B17, but that sounds
like a real good compromise!

i think it depends on the set-up too - a B17 is a fine saddle when the
bars are at (or even above, as some like) saddle height. in my
experience, narrower saddles feel

usuk2007: were you using cycling bibs or padded shorts with your
Regal? Maybe that makes the difference. I find the Regal supremely
comfortable, but then again, I wear bibs. Maybe my estimation would
change without padding.
