C&C Sport Tour Seat Review
I wanted a 2up seat that was not large and butt ugly, would sit me lower and back, and is comfortable for long day trips. After months of research, I decided on the Sport Tour. The seats fit and finish are top notch. Looks more expensive than it costs (be sure to get a price from DrVtwin). I got the standard plain vinyl seat. It looks like leather and the stitching design gives it a very clean look. It mounts perfectly and firmly on to the frame, no movement, and comes with the front and rear tabs. The seat positions you ~1 1/2" lower and ~1" back. The bike feels totally different, in a very good way. Sitting lower, more back, and in a bucket, you feel like part of the bike - makes both twisties and freeway riding even more fun. Although it is a low profile seat and feels firm, its actually comfortable, a lot more comfortable than the stock seat. The padding is dense, not hard, and at 200lbs, I never felt like I would bottom out to the seat pan. I can easily do long day rides with this seat. Took the gf for ride and she also says it is more comfortable then the stocker. She is on the lighter side, so not sure if this would hold true for a heavier passenger.
I spoke with C&C a couple times and they a very helpful. They had mentioned that 200 rear tire bikes may have a little less padding due to the seat pan design because of the wider fender. They are coming out with a new seat pan to address this. Not sure how different the comfort level is when comparing 200 bikes with 130 and 150 bikes.

No gel. Ordered the standard seat. The padding feels firm, like what I think gel would feel like though...

I finally got my C&C solo with flame stitching out over the weekend. It was great. And like you said the fit and finish is perfect and looks more expensive than it cost.
