The C17 is narrower than the B17, but they are effectively the same width when used.
Saddles are a completely individual product. I ride saddles that others hate. Others love saddles that I think are ass hatchets. It is completely worth the time and money to go to a shop and sit on a get impression pad. That will give you an idea of your sit bone width and you can then target saddles that are made to fit you.
I agree with you there. I think I've stuck to the same saddle because it the right width. I believe it's what they call the "gooch" as I remember the Jackass film they called it. A saddle with enough of a groove in that area and softness is what I'm probably looking for. Also, it's an old saddle. The gel probably is so old it doesn't hold up after 12-16 of riding a day. I've stitched it together from it coming apart. At least I know my size. It's the shape that seems to be hard to find. As you say, it's an individual product.
