I have used the ERA seats that came with my 289 FIA basic kit. Are these the "comp" seats you're referring to?

I've made good use of them, and I've always found them comfortable. After several years of use the vinyl wore thin, so I took them to a local upholstery shop and had them recovered in black leather. The upholsterer added padding to the backrest and put denser foam in the seat pad, and now I like them even better! This wasn't cheap to do, but it was worth it. I dunno, but maybe ERA offers an upgrade to leather/dense foam? (Hint...Hint... They should.)

I like the look of these seats over the standard 427-type seats.
