A few things I've thought of...
Intergrated seatpost is possibly the worst idea in the world, not only do you limit how many bikes can have your saddle, there's also zero adjustability. Normal saddles have a good few inches of back and forth movement.
Not to mention that someone with a 70 degree seatube is going to be leaning backwards, and someone with a 78 degree seatube is going to be leaning forwards.
Also, you've taken the worst part of a brooks saddle - the design. People mainly buy Brookses for the looks and the prestige of the brand, yours has neither. 99.9999% of cyclist don't use a sprung saddle, if they were necessary we'd all be riding one, but apart from brooks their popularity died out decades ago.
Saying that I think there's something to it, if you could make it very light, with normal rails (for adjustability) and no seatpost, it might just work.
