Saddle for an upright posture

I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this, as it really concerns long-distance rambling, as opposed to commuting or fast touring.

Anyway, I have a Kettler Selection hub gear bike that I use for commuting, shopping and longish distance Sunday-type rides. I ride it upright, and I am looking for a saddle that will be comfortable for rides that could be up to a hundred miles for a days ride.

The Brooks site recommends the B66 for this application. Can anyone suggest anything from their own experience?

    I have two Brooks B17's (one standard, one titanium) and they are both good for long distances. I presume the B66 is one with springs, but I think that is unnecessary as well as adding extra weight. I have a fairly upright position.

    Try Team Pro, I find it more comfy than B17.
    Say... That's a nice bike..
