You're right... a bit more rail length on the Cambiums as the Brooks rails are notoriously short. This, along with the thickness of the leather, is one of the reasons why I really love the Berthoud saddles, but I still have a few B17 Specials that fit me like an old baseball glove, and I would never part with them.
The angle of your C17 in the photo of your Clementine was basically the same kind of angle I was running on my Cambium when I was experiencing the back pain.
