I have an '11 seat on my '10 FLHX. I couldn't tell you if the new seat is lower, but it is definately more narrow towards the tank. By being more narrow, it gives the impression that the seat is lower (allows me to be completely flat footed now).
The newer seat also has a little more lower back support than the '10 does. I hope this helps.

I have a 2011 Street Glide, and I have compared the seat to the 2010. Mine seems to sit you a little lower, and is more comfortable (although I have not ridden the 2010 any real distance).

I do believe it sits lower also. It is definately narrow in front to get your feet on the ground better and the seat is a lot more comfy than the old style seats.
