For 2-up riding, are you better off going with the RK over the RKC?

For 2-up riding, are you better off going with the RK over the RKC?
I like the looks of both the Road King and the Road King Classic but it looks like the pillion part of the RKC seat is pretty dang small. I know that it's made narrower to allow the leather saddlebags to open up all the way but it can't be very comfortable for your pillion, can it?
My wife is an average sized woman but isn't exactly a waif either, and not only is the stock seat on the RKC narrow but it seems to be a bit shy on the padding too.
Is there a way to get a decent-sized seat that's comfortable to fit on the Road King Classic or should I be looking at only the Road King standard?

Another thought, if you ride two up on RKC, you will probably want a back rest (sissy bar) for the passenger. When you go with the four point mounting bracket, you almost have to add a kit that limits the opening of the bags. If you don't install this kit the top of the leather covered bags will get beat up. The kit works great but limits the functionality of the bags.
