Yep, Corbin's are really nice but really pricey. If you've got the funds, go for it.
However, I'd recommend as others said...you can redo your seat yourself w/ memory-foam or whatever you choose & cover w/ marine vinyl. I've had to redo two seats due to cracks/rips & used quality marine vinyl that I got from Jo-Ann's Fabrics (chain store). I checked w/ a local upholstery shop & they used the same vinyl but wanted twice as much to sell. Anyway, just measure, cut, fold over, & staple down using a staple gun. Yeah, you'll have sore fingers when you're done but you'll have a good seat for only a few bucks vs the 200+ that a Corbin costs.
If you don't have the time or want to do it yourself, an upholstery shop will do it for you for a fraction of the cost of a Corbin as well. Good luck.

Bingo. I don't think anything compares to the Corbin, which oddly enough is HARDER than the stock seat, but it's the shape that makes it so awesome.
Either way, after a couple hundred miles, it's pretty likely your butt will hurt.
