Similar dimensions :-) I used a LowDown for a little over a year. I liked being closer to the bars and being flat footed at stops. My wife liked the ride and especially liked having extra room behind my backrest (seat moves you forward about an inch). The ride for me was OK, but the boys weren't particularly comfortable on long rides.

I ended up ordering a custom C&C SportTour that they moved me forward an inch (this put me at the original SG seat position but about 1 inch lower). The seat looks and feels great.

I've never ridden on a seat done by MCC, but I sat on a guys bike that had one in Daytona last year. Honestly, it felt pretty nice! I really liked the positioning and looks. I'm considering having them rework one for me.
