Default Purchasing Corbin Seat

Hey all. My wife has twisted my arm sufficiently. We are breaking down and making a ride to our dealer this weekend to order a corbin seat for her M50.

I found a store on e-bay that sells new Mustangs for my C50 for volumes cheaper than i've seen anywhere else (Including Oneida). I'm not sure if I should try to get the dealer to meet/beat the price. All of our accessory purchases thus far have been online (most of them through Oneida).

My dealer has offered 10% off of the price of the seat. First off, does anyone know of a cheaper place online where I could order this seat? If a dealer purchase is the best route, does anyone have any advice on the purchase? I've never bought a saddle before and these are our first bikes. I know that Corbins are customizable (for additional cost). Do dealers stock any of these or are they all custom ordered?

I just want to make sure we are equipped with as much info as possible before rolling in there. I've read some rumblings about designs other than the classic dual tour. Any thoughts or recommendations?

We're trying to do this as cheaply as possible, but my wife wants the option of a back rest and comfort is the most important feature (above design).

Yes... I promise some pics of the new seat and a thorough review.
