I got the sundowner a few weeks ago and I like it a lot. Big differance over the stock padded brick they come with. Got it from Zanotti's. Ordered on a Monday and had it Wednsday. Great service.

I have the pillow look touring seat. I replaced the stock one after about 100 miles of pain. The touring seat is so much more comfortable:)

I would add that it depends on how far you plan on travelling, how old your butt is and whether or not you can throw some more bones at a seat. I bought a Mustang Vintage Wide Super Touring seat and I really don't think that could be happier when it comes to the comfort of my rear. It set me back about $300 but I think that the cost is relative according to what level of comfort that it gives you. I've done many 300+ mile days, even two days at 800+ and 900+ miles, and can honestly say that my butt hasn't been sore since I purchased the seat.

I have no experience with either of the seats that you've listed but have known people who ended up selling their HD branded "aftermarket" seat for something like a Mustang seat. Of course I've also heard of some people who are very happy with either of those seats that you have listed.
