I went with a Corbin. Not a good choice. I ordered over the phone. It's a quality piece, but the seat and my backside just couldn't get along. It was hard. They say they need time to break in. I used it for six months (4000 miles) before giving up on it.
I finally had a local custom stitcher redo my stock saddle. Now I have a $700 custom Corbin with backrest sitting in a box that will probably rot away.
The $700 Lesson.....use a local stitcher where you can have the seat made to fit you.

They shipped me a ripped seat and refused to cover the shipping to take it back and fix it. No returned calls or emails. I wouldn't buy another of their products if they were on sale for 50% off. Absolutely horrible customer service. I've heard the opposite from people who actually rode into their shop for a custom built seat but being in Canada, that was not an option. I strongly urge people to check their customer reviews before ordering a Corbin.... I wish I had!

I need everyone's opinion please. I have been shopping for a solo seat for my Deluxe. I am taking a two week road trip this summer and the stocker isn't going to cut it. I have done a ton of reading on the forums and I have talked to Lepera , C&C, and Saddelman.
First off I have to say most people run the lepera but it doesn't seem great for long rides 300-500 miles a day. It looks great though. Speaking with them on the phone was a joke. Who ever I talked to had no clue why I should buy there seat over anyone elses. Just that it looks good and is what every one else has. Lol
Speaking with Saddelman was a little more informative. All seats come with gel and there special foam. Etc. There seats don't move you down at all. But they swear it's comfortable.
C&C has been by far the most informative. They agree the lepera looks great but swear you can't do a road trip on it. They are also the most expensive by far. Everything is extra. Gel+$100, lower the riding position +$75, add diamond stitch stripe +$125, and add tank bib +$75. It adds up quick! For just the extras I could buy another seat.
I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for but damn. 2x the price of the next nearest custom seat? Really? Is the C&C seat that great? Or should I be looking elsewhere? Who has an opinion and please keep in mind it's just your opinion no seat war please. Everyone's *** is different. Thanks in advance for the input..
