It's a trial and error process but only focusing on one data point (the seat alone) may be why you're not finding anything that works and gives you overall riding comfort.

Every butt is different. I wish I had the money back I have spent with Mustang, Danny Gray and others I cannot remember. I have also had custom work done to stock seats adding gel, etc.
Bottom line I have concluded that my stock seat works as good as anything. The beauty is the last time I felt I needed to replace the stock seat (56k mile service) I got a like new take off for $75.00.

It just seams like a real expensive pursuit.

Likely you are one that will never be happy with one. Take one you have that is the best fit. Find a local that can mod seats and have them work with you. It is not expensive and maybe the only way you find what makes you happy.

I have already decided to play around and reupholster a seat I have, probably order in some gel pads also. I did upholstery for about 20 years but now own a boat canvas shop.

I had a custom seat made over 10 years ago and it's been fine until the last couple years. Now it's became less comfortable, I solved the issue for me with an AirHawk pad. With the AirHawk I can ride all day with no discomfort, I don't strap it on, just lift it off when I'm done and throw it in the bag. You can usually pick up a used one on CL for $50 - 75, if you don't like it you can resell it with out losing any money.

If modifying multiple seats doesn't help you, maybe modifying your *** will?
