    But that said, your sit bone measurement does leave a lot of nice options open.. if you are set on a brooks, think about which model will suit your needs best, not just which might or might not be more comfortable.. I have a b.68s (like the b67, but no springs) on my road bike and I don't even feel it under me.. it disappears, which is what a good saddle should do, and I'm not riding it upright
    So, if I understand correctly, the bike shop guy would roll his eyes at you and tell you that you are using the wrong seat for your bike

    Well, my first need right now IS comfort. If I'm not comfortable on my seat, I won't ride as much because I'm miserable.

    When it comes to the other needs, I guess I just don't know enough about them to understand what saddle suits which needs. So, if my needs are casual riding, working up to touring, and getting some exercise. So, I know I don't need a racing saddle. Is there more to know?

    Edit: Is it wrong that a part of me leans toward the B67 because it comes in the darker aged brown and the Flyer doesn't?
