The makings of a good seat.

Hate to start another seat thread but I am not quite happy with the sundowner for my road king classic. I have tried to do several searches on here for opinions from various people on what makes a good seat and can't find one. So lets hear it.
What makes a good seat great. Is it width, material, type of foam, cut, gel, what?
I also realize different seats for different cheeks but it seems with some overall thoughts it would help narrow the search, I am seriously considering the new mustang super tour seats, however, the reason I am looking at them is that they are wider than other seats I see and I wonder if wider is better?

I've had the stock seat, badlander, and a Mustang touring seat for my RK. I wanted a seat that looked great on the bike but that was also comfortable. I resisted Corbin for years because of how hard they were. I finally broke down and bought the Classic Solo and wish I'd done in back when I bought the bike. The nice thing about Corbin is that they will custom fit the seat to your spec at no charge.
My buddy has had a couple of EG - currently an '07 SE Ultra. He switched to the Corbin dual tour and raves about it.

I had a 2-up touring Mustang on my '04 Wide Glide and the biggest thing I had to get used to was the width. Once I got used to it, it was a fantastic seat. My Ultra has the stock seat and although my wife loves the passenger seat, mine is mushy. Serious case of monkey butt after a long day in the saddle. I can't speak for any other brands, but I was very happy with Mustang.

Yeah there really should be a "special section" under what ever type of bike you have for seats, seriously. There is a new seat thread every other day(at least) and generally the responses are the same, MCC, C&C and Mustang, Reach Seat etc. So there you have it from me.
