I agree on the modern Brooks quality, at least the basic models. The Specials are still up to traditional standards, IMHO, but demand a premium because of that.

I have two Cardiff saddles on my bikes: a Mercia and a Cornwall. Both were absolute bargains when I bought them, and I think they compare favorably to the basic B17.
