Need help choosing a solo seat

I have narrowed it down to these three:

1. Mustang Tripper ($200)
2. DG Buttcrack ($250)
3. C&C Solo ($225)

I love the looks and price of Le Pera Bare Bones, but I keep hearing they aren't very comfortable. I need to find a happy medium with looks and comfort. I do a lot of 200+ mile rides and have a bad back. Being 6'3", I wouldn't mind something that pushes me back a little either. I like the looks of the DG Buttcrack the most, but hear the Mustang is pretty comfy. Help me out please, looking to buy soon. Thanks.

I actually meant to put that on the list. I just found a guy on craigslist who is getting rid of a practically new one for $150. Hoping he still has it.

I like the C&C. But they are all good choices.

I had the Mustang Tripper and found it to be comfy, but after I saw how the Danny Grey seat kinda molds right into the frame of the bike I bought one. If you look at my sig you'll see what I mean.

I had the BareBones, sold it, now have the C&C Solo. Much better! IMO the Mustang sits the rider up and forward compared to the others. I'm 6'4", the C&C sits me down and back and my *** doesn't complain. Plus I like the way it fits the lines of the bike. Chuck at C&C will give HDF members 10% off.
