Default Two Road Zeppelin Seats - What's diff?

What's the difference between these two seats? Sure $100 is one thing. The $799 seat seems to have some built in back support with a deeper seat for the rider. A little bit of styling difference with the buttons on the $699 seat.

Has anyone sat on/owned both to know thedifference? Is there any reason this backrest that I already own won't work with the seat? 52622-03A?

Leather breaths better - looks better - softer will normally last longer.
