When you swapped saddles, did you adjust the seat height, or did you simply install the new saddle? The B17 sits higher than many saddles, so it may be too high. I had a lot of problems with perineum pressure until I got the seat height correct for me, mine was too high. I used Steve Hogg's methods of setting seat setback and height, and found mine was substantially higher than it needed to be. I also resisted lowering it the last 5mm that seemed to be necessary according to his methods. Once I did, all pain went away, and I was more efficient as well. The nose of my saddle is almost level as well. I have no issues sliding forward, and have no real weight on my hands. Very comfortable.
