Default Corbin vs Mustang vs Saddleman

Are any of these generally more comfy than the others?

Any suggestions on seats that are comfy for a really big guy (350lbs) on longer trips?

I go about 315 and tried every trick in the forum to get comfy on the stock seat. I cut the lump out of the back and replaced the foam with gel pads made for wheel chairs and still no relief. Got the Mustang Wide Classic and all my A$$ troubles went away with the exception of the mother-in-law. Get it and the Johns forward control kit and floorboards. I am 6'3" and enjoy the stretch and the foot room of the floorboards. War Department reports the passenger pad MUCH more comfy than the stock pillion as well. Just need to get her some passenger floor boards and she is set.

After talking with a friend of mine, I ordered a Saddlemen's Classic Explorer seat for about 350. My friend had a pair of mustangs for his harley but got a saddleman and liked it more.

The reviews I found online basically showed that people found all of them to be pretty good, with some people having different preferences.

Given that it was the cheapest for both passenger and pillion pieces, and that all of them will be a major improvement over the 20minutes of comfy time on the stock seat, I am sure it will turn out well!
