Default Heated Seat Or Not?

I'm getting ready to order a Corbin seat, and can't decide whether to get the heated option or not. I live in central Texas, and we don't get that many cold days. On the other hand, I think lack of exposuremakes me more adverse to riding in the cold. It's also only 8 miles to work, so it's not worth putting on dual layers to ride, so maybe with a heated seat, I'd ride more in the winter.

What do you think? Do those of you with heated seats like them? Do you use them a lot? If you don't have one, do you wish you would have purchased a heated seat instead of the regular model?

Also, are then any other things to worry about with the heated models, such as durability, reliability,battery life, comfort level, etc?

They got a special on them in the ladies sectionat Kohl's.

The days that get that cold you will probably have ice on the road and wont be riding anyway.

In my humble opinion, heated anything whether it be seats or gear is for girls only.

I ordered heaters for my RKC Sundowner seat from MCC. They are slow to heat up and now that I have them doubt I will ever use them. Also had to send it back the same week I got it back as the rider's switch was bad. Save your money and buy more chrome!
