Default torn and need opinions

I am still trying to decide on what seat i want to get, narrowed it down to the Mustang Daytripper or the C&C sport tour. I like the fact that the day tripper only has an 8 inch rear pad instead of a 10.5 looking for comfort for both rider and passenger which leads me to the sport tour but then taken aback by the large 2up being wider then my fender and not really flowing well with the bike. Thinking that whole butty buddy thing might be a good investment being that i can take it off when not riding and go with the mustang. any suggestions? i have been going over this for about 2 weeks now and still haven't drawn to a conclusion.

This is the bike that it will be going on. As you can see I am still rocking the Stock ugg-*** seat that measures a whopping 15 inches in the seating area and another 4-5 inches of fall off. Really destroys the feel that I am trying to achieve.

if you get from a mustang dealer you should be able to return it if you dont like it. personally get both and sell the one you dont like. i went thru 3 seats to find the one that was right for my riding. looks were second as i am sitting on it and i hope that is not the area people notice.
