Thank you for what sounds like the most honest opinion on the BR550. I can go ahead and nix that from the list.

This might seem like a silly question, but can "upgraded" seat cushions on the BR550 stock benches mitigate that problem? I'm not sure if the vinyl shells can be re-filled with a more shock absorbant...

I'm not really a fan of Zodiac's Touring or Classic Pro setups, which are the two non-Bayrunner choices. The Touring is like having a jet-ski seat behind a center console, I just don't get it. And...
