I have a bunch of different bikes, and have ridden a bunch more. Ergonomics relative to pegs, bars, etc. play into overall comfort to me, but I've never once found myself conscious of seat comfort. I did swap my seat for the Samurider K10 seat, but that was strictly a looks thing. For me, the extra height of the uncut seat gives me a bit more room, which is nice...it never occurred to me to even think about if one was more comfortable than the other. On the third hand, I don't spend 8 hours in the saddle with only stops for gas. A day of riding for me is 100 miles to get somewhere, noodle around a bit, another 100 miles and a stop for gas and food, noodle around some more, then head back home. From all of the Corbin threads though, clearly this is an issue for many.
Good luck with the house HR!!!
I think the only truly comfortable stock seat I have ever rode was on a Yamaha Virago 1100. Of course, the whole ergonomic is different than an upright street bike.
