[QUOTE="Redfish Hunter, post: 1172163, member: 28773"] I would not pay more for a Bill Mayer than I would pay for a Russell. In fact, I don't think any seat is worth more than a Russell. If I were concerned about cost and the thickness of the seat were a serious issue, I would look very closely at the Laam Custom. If money is not an object by all means go with the Russell. Leather or vinyl is a personal preference and as long as there is no gel padding involved, both should react to sunlight in the same way. That is, HOT when you first sit down, then quickly cooling to your body temp. The gel padding that is recommended by some is bad about retaining that heat for some time after you sit on the seat. As far as "sliding forward to put your feet down", that happens automatically. It is not even a conscious effort. Remember, it is your money and your seat. Get it like YOU want it. Leather, vinyl, fake fur if you want it. That is part of the joy of a true custom seat. Good luck, please let us know what you decide. [/QUOTE]
