I think this sounds like a reasonable deal!
Ride it for 3 weeks regularly. By that time your sitbones will be 'broken in' and the initial soreness should be all or almost all gone.
If you still feel like you are riding on the edges, ask him to get you the B68. Then sell the B17 here or on Ebay or Craigslist. Try here on TE first.
This happened to me, ecxept I rode about a year and over 1,000 miles on my B17 before I decided it just wasn't quite wide enough. I sold it here and got a B68 which felt perfect from the minute I sat on it. Have B68's on both my two bikes, they are perfect for me.
