As to leaving a B17 in the rain, if you're worried thats what plastic bags are for (stash one under yer seat). Hey presto, problem solved!
B17s come in different widths too including narrow.
Both are good saddles. The Rolls will be pretty comfy from the outset. The Brooks will take some time. Both will last years but the Brooks should last longer. A lot depends on your choice of asthetics and whether you're prepared to look after the Brooks for a while (breaking it in, trying to keep it dry etc).
