No doubt that a mustang is going to be more comfortable but... I hate the toad stool look. So after trying the mustang with back support I pulled it off and sold it to a buddy. I went with the Le Pera 2 up Daytona Regal Plush and I love it. So does the wife. The seat puts you lower so I get some lower back support and the plush allows me to ride for hours with no need to get up. I also like the fact that Le Pera uses a solid metal seat pan and the quality is awesome! The put a soft carpet (for lack of better word) under the seat so you can get rid of the plastic paint protection that is under the stock seat and not worry about it scratching your paint if you go two up.
If you do not go with the plush get the gel...
Good luck

I just assumed it was the fatboy in his signature but this is a very good point. What bike are you shopping for and what seats are you looking at.

I have a custom made Mustang and a custom made LePera for different reasons. Have a look at the following links. I prefer the Mustang WAYYYYYYY more for comfort, and the "solo" look, but when I have a passenger, the LePera goes on in about 10 seconds. I have all of the hardware for a quick change, including a little button cap to conceal the rear hole when riding with the Mustang. No tools required.

I ended up getting the Mustang made without the "skirt" on it. It looks amazing, but I don't have any pictures of it yet in my photobucket account, so I can't show you yet. As for the stock seat....... UGGGGGLY (but that's just my opinion). I love my Fatty!!!!

If you want a real touring seat the Maverick or Sorrento are all day saddles. You get that nice sillohuete and still keep the comfort. I will be buying one to swap out for super long days with the wife.
If you are about the comfort, may you can not beat a mustang. I just like the smaller seats and I have found that Le Pera does this and does it without killing your wallet. Not to mention they will do just about any custom seat you want.
