Anyway, back to actual swap details.
The pregen seat goes too far the wrong way with the squishy department. It's soft and not supportive, so your butt muscles get sore after a while. The 300 seat is firm but contoured. Not the greatest for bumps, but for muscle soreness, it's a little better. Then again, I'm from a bicycling background, so I always look for firm and contoured over squishy and soft.

The ergo's are nearly identical. Seriously. You'll never notice a difference stock to stock. If you do, you won't be in any discomfort based on the riding position alone.
