Default Upholstery

I put my wife in charge of interior selection for my RV7a, "The Other Woman". She likes Classic Aero Designs. How do the Aviator seats compare to the Sportsman seats for comfort? Is the foam upgrade worth it?

Most of the extra cost of the Aviator comes from the frame in the seat back. You can "mix 'n match" and save quite a bit of money-Aviator bottoms, Sportsman backs. I did that and am really happy with the result. I would say the foam in the seat bottoms is a plus. YMMV
