That I should get the B68 then? I know we can't be precise when not in person, but it seems like the safe choice would be the B68 and the B17 would be chancey. I guess I thought the 17 was extremely common and thus would work for most people. It is Brooks' flagship model, correct? Well, I'll not pretend, I loved the honey color of the B 17, so I'm sad it likely won't work! But thanks for your help, everyone!
