I'd recommend a local seat guy if you have one (or two). Being local they are available for tweaking and customer service will be better. I now consider the seat as is from the factory a cover to keep stuff off the battery. Getting it redone to suit you can be inexpensive or pretty expensive (local guy redid my 650L and Griso seats for $120 each). Price will vary depending upon the work needed to be done.
I have a buddies Sargent seat (built on a Corbin core - original owner went with Corbin, thought it was terrible and had Sargent have a go at it - then sold that seat to my buddy: common thread, did not go with a local seat guy!) that is not too bad, has some good points and was used to make up a seat for me for the Griso.
With a local guy, you have a lot of choices for the seat cover material; not just what a mass producer does.
