Help me decide on a new seat

I have a Corbin classic close solo, with backrest. I had them put softer foam in after trying some really hard corbins in the past. The softer foam makes the seat feel like it is already broken in right from the factory, very comfortable. The only problem is with the seat mount brackets they use now with the locking seats. If you change seats quite a bit like I do, removing and replacing and aligning the brackets every time is an annoyance.
Tried a Mustang solo, but to me is was like sitting on a flat board, not the hardness, but the seatpan was totally flat, no contour there. It was too soft, and I didn't like the slightly raised position. Also the edge of the seat cut off the circulation to my legs.
I had to pull over at times to walk around and get the circulation back to my legs, if you have ever had that happen when riding, it is SCARY! You start to loose function in your legs, like they are going asleep, not good. That went on Ebay after 3 rides!
I also have a sundowner that I use on occasion, it is pretty comfortable, better than stock, and puts me in the right position at 5'11" 30" inseam. I use a Mustang backrest with this seat, the best backrest on the market IMO.
Been looking at C&C's too, the prices look to be better than Corbin, and it wouldn't be hard to beat Corbin's shitty customer service. That will be my next seat, yea I keep most of them, swap them out to change the look and feel of the bike, like changing clothes. LOL

Had a C&C..great seat except got a little uncomfortable after 4-5 hours in the saddle...just ordered another Corbin--had one on the last bike..it's a little firmer, but gives all day comfort. The downside: C&C has great customer service--Corbin--not so much--but once they get it right they make one hell of a good seat!

Mike I have the Mustang Sport Touring and it is a very comfortable seat.
I have done several 400 mile days without troubles. The wife likes it also. Just go to there website and take a gander. They also have a policy if you buy from the directly you have 10 days to keep the seat or send it back for another one. That in itself is pretty awesome.
