Default 09 Ultra seat question

Friday I picked up an 09 Ultra with a little under 12,000 miles on it and am very happy with it. Yesterday was my wife's first chance to go for a ride with me and her half of the seat sucks. Feels like the foam is completely sacked. Swung by the local dealer to see if they had any take-off seats I could get a good deal on and sure enough they did. We checked out 5 seats and they were all the same, passenger portion sucked. I know there are lots of seat choices out there, but am wondering if you have any opinions on the HD Sundowner seat?

I had the Sundowner put on my 09 Ultra before delivery and have about 15K on it now. It's fairly comfortable for the first 150 or so miles but then it starts to show some hard spots. The wife didn't like it very much and tried using a gel pad that I had bought for a previous bike (didn't work out real good) and then we bought her an Air Hawk which she says makes a real difference, although she has not ridden with me very much since buying it (go figure). I would suggest sending your seat to Mean City Cycle for padding upgrade or adding something like the Air Hawk. Just another couple of ways to spend a few hundred.
