I would give it a chance myself.
You can't really tell what a new seat is gonna truly feel like till you've ridden for awhile.

Personally, I love my Mustang seat

Mustang seats do break in after a while.

when I bought my mustang solo daytripper seat it was so uncomfortable I called mustang direct and asked them if there was a break in period(hoping she would say give it some time) The girl told me no , mustang seats have no break in period.
from the mustang web site.....



Foam
All foam is compounded and molded at our New England facility. For a seat to be comfortable, "it's what's inside that counts". The most important component of comfort is the seat foam--both the quality of the foam itself and its design. Each Mustang foam is formulated and cast to be soft enough for comfort and resilient enough to stand up to those "thousand-mile" days. Mustang has over 25 years of experience in compounding the right chemical mix to create the best controlled density polyurethane foam for all-day comfort. The foam has a density of approximately four pounds per cubic foot, depending on the size and thickness of the seat. The foam must then be molded to the correct shape to support your body at the best angle. Our quality foam usually feels firmer than stock but is less firm than other aftermarket seats. It will compress enough to mold itself to your body shape within about 15 minutes of riding time--every time you ride. You do not need a "break-in" period to be comfortable. Your 100th ride will be equal to your 10,000th mile. Mustang seats are known for retaining their shape and support after years of use.
