Looking at some solo seats

I like the look of the stock seat but hated the way it felt. I repadded it myself and it's pretty good but I thought I'd look at some other options. I basically want something that is comfy for longer rides and looks good with the lines of the bike.
I've tried the Deluxe Solo that NField Gear sells which is a La Pera, not for me. Don't want a Lycette style, I don't like the look.
I was thinking of something like this:
http://www.jpcycles.com/product/803-143?utm_source=none&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=&gclid=CMLViIKPmLQCFQ_hQgodP0YAJg
Just about the same size as stock. I'm not sure that it's going to be more comfortable, if it's not there's no point.
Or this:
http://www.plainjanerollers.com/servlet/the-1069/black-solo-seat-Harley/Detail
This is an old style Harley seat. About the same length front to back but 4 inches wider than stock. I'm sure the extra width would help with comfort but I wonder if it would look too wide.
Anyone ever use either of these? Comfy? Think the bottom would look too wide on my C5?
Thanks,
Scott

Yeah, if not identical then copied from the same original. They reported good initial comfort but never gave a later update.

I've been eyeblling this one, but for fitment to my 01 Bullet due to arrive next week. Plenty of options on Ebay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Vintage-Style-Brown-Leather-Solo-Seat-Harley-/370694348470?_trksid=p2047675.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222001%26algo%3DSIC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D11%26meid%3D4139460745956278793%26pid%3D100011%26prg%3D1005%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D370671385694%26
I think if you get away from using "Royal Enfield" and just use 13" solo seat, or vintage, or the dreaded Harley search words you get a lot more items shown

I came across some images of that seat on an Enfield, it looks good actually from all angles, only like a plow tractor seat from behind when parked, suitable for a wide load
....butt when your sitting on it, what's the difference,
