Default corbin or ultimate seat?

Still undecided, but have narrowed it down to these two. Any suggestions or opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I have had a couple of Corbin seats. Durable because they were made of oak.

I have a Corbin seat on my sport bike. Good quality materials used, lousy design (seat pops off bike when it should lock in), not impressed at all with customer service. I know exactly why the seat pops up and what the fix would be but they ignored all my emails and had a bit of a chip on their shoulder when I called.

The Corbin I have on my Super Glide is the best seat I have ever used. I can see why some folks think they are too hard, but after days and days in the saddle there are no hot spots and no fatigue issues. Other parts of me may wear out, but my butt is good as new. If you need a super soft seat for some reason, a Corbin is probably not for you. They are firm but the firmness of it is deceptive. When I first sat on it I thought it may be too firm. Then I went on the road and figured out they had it figured out so to speak.

Not even close. I have thousands of miles "in" The Ultimate. No other seat comes close. I had Ultimate seats on my Metrics and my last Harley. My wife wants one under her. One of the first mods we do. The Ultimate is not waterproof, it breathes, no skin stretch, no hot spots. You sit in these seats, not on 'em. The Ultimate is the best seat available, period.
