If nothing else, a B-33 (saddle) wouldn't be a bad idea until the soft tissue in your spine fully heals. That could take a long time. It provides much more stability than a B-67. (A B-67 is often recommended for people after hip-replacement, etc. but that B-33 was sublime). Anyway, you can buy any Brooks saddle from Wallbikes, they have a 6 month return policy.
I was able to find someone who does independent pre-purchase bike fitting with all of the computers and video. I walk out with sizes, dimensions, and recommendations. It includes a return trip after the bike purchase to make all the final adjustments. So I'm going to back off of any leaning toward a specific bike until I do that fitting.

That saddle looks great! Thanks for the recommendation!
