Default Sundowner vs Tallboy

I have a 2010 Road Glide. Looking for a new seat and I like that the tallboy moves you back 2" but would like to see what people say about the Sundowner. Does it move you forward, back, up or down?

I need a more comfy seat but I can NOT move anymore forward than stock. Thanks.

I bought the Tallboy for my 09 SG after using the search feature and realized the Sundowner does not move you back any.

The look almost like the same seat except for the further seated back position.

The tall Boy moves you back more whereas the Sundowner angles you back and down "into" a deep bucket. Went from a stock to an Mustang, and then to a Sundowner. Sundowner is the most comfortable by far and I have no problems with those 500-700 mile days.
