The problem I've heard with the Road Zeppelin is that for us vertically challenged folks its not the best seat. You need to have pretty long legs to inflate it and still get your feet flat on the ground. Not to mention the fact that its a very wide seat which will add to the difficulty of touching down.
If I weren't 5'10" with a 29" inseam I would give the seat a shot, but I think with my short reach I would be dangling in the air with a Road Zep.

This is true, I have a RZ, and a 32" inseam, all aired up, its a stretch to flat foot. I have learned to deflate it when I'm running in stop and go traffic or stop sign to stop sign. It is a small price to pay for the awesome comfort though. I am contemplating lowering the rear a tad so I dont have to deflate. not sure yet if I will do that though.

To the OP, I tried a Corbin, it is very hard, moves you back a bit (could be an issue if you have shorter arms), and did I mension, it is very hard. I sold mine. I had a mustang sport tourer on my last ride, and it was a great seat. At first it felt a little stickey, but with some seat time it smoothed up and I was able to "slide around" If the road zeppelin didn't work for me, that was gonna be my next seat. but no need now my RZ seat rocks!
Good luck to you as said seats are very subjective.
