Default HD Touring seat, or Sundowner?

Which one is better? I am looking at a seat for the long haul on my Wide Glide. Don't much care about the looks, I am going for comfort, I have the stock seat for looks. Also want passenger pad.

EDIT: Sorry I forgot the polls don't work.

Can't seem to vote, but I love the Mustang seats for long ride comfort.

I can't comment on the others, but I have a Sundowner seat and am happy with it.

I have the sundowner. OK with my wife. I hear the mustang is the best but $$$. I'll try to keep my wife from trying one, now that we already have the sundowner.

Have a Sundowner on my WG and it lets me ride all day with no problem. When the wife and I were 2up, before I got the Ultra, she enjoyed it as well. Did 662 miles back from Sturgis&nbsp\\;in one day with no pains.

I had a Sundowner on my Lowrider and my wife loved it.&nbsp\\; I have the stock seat on my Electra Glide and it works pretty well for longer rides for both my wife and I.&nbsp\\; So it's tough to judge for me, since both worked pretty well!&nbsp\\;

I have the stock seat on my EGC, Sundowner on the wife's Street Bob. Love both seats. Never a comfort problem for either of us with either of these seats.

I am perfectly happy with the Sundowner, as well is my woman.&nbsp\\; I have not experienced the Touring seat so I cannot compare.
