drawbacks of less pimp alum seats?

[BLINGMW]

....the difference is night and day

yeah, I hear ya, but so is the price! And I've had little luck finding used ones.

Thanks for the info on the FX1's, maybe I won't waste my precious drinking time checking it out this weekend. I'm about 35" waist too, so I'm probably in the same boat as you

the only Sparco in my price range is the Sprint.... any feedback/comparisons on that?
