One of the many great things about Rivendells is they are made to try many and various set-ups so you can find the one you like. I took over a year to get my saddle/handlebar position worked out. There are so many variables, I would change one (tilt of the seat or handlebars or slid the seat all the way back then forward, for example) and ride with it till something got uncomfortable (sometimes 30 seconds, a few times not until hour seven on day 3 of a tour), then I tried what I thought would fix it, and see it I was comfortable longer. I'm not at all mechanically inclined, so this was me getting to play in an entirely new space and it was grand fun. It's pretty dialed in now, and if someone snuck in at night and readjusted it all, I'd be able to dial it in a lot quicker than a year from now because I learned a lot about how everything relates to how it feels in the saddle.
Go for the B-17 saddle. Play with adjusting it. Forward, aft, tilt, height, handlebar height, tilt. They all interelate. Shift one, and you think, "Oooo. Now I gotta shift the saddle forward." swap it back and forth with the B-68. You'll have a grand time, and learn it's OK to play with your bike. She likes it. Grin.
