seat mods: www.sporttour.com vs corbin?

My A16 is comfortable for short trips, but causes numbness and
tingling in my private parts on longer rides. I'm taking the hint,
and upgrading the seat!
I'm a bit put off by reports of Corbin seats soaking up water and
then leaking for days. When I asked if they would use seam sealer on
a special order basis, they said no (they did suggest that
eliminating the piping makes a more comfortable seat and reduces
leakage).
This leaves me wondering about the Corbin look-alike offered at
www.sporttour.com. I emailed to ask if their seatcover was sealed or
seamless, but I've had no response.
Has anyone on the list had experience with the sporttour.com seats?

Hey Steve,
I've got the Sport tour rebuilt seat and it is much better than
stock. Still likes to collect water though.... How much do you weigh?
If you're under say 190lbs the Sport tour is probably as good as the
Corbin for you. I weigh in about 230lbs and would have liked some
slightly firmer foam in the seat than what they used. Still a great
product and about $75 cheaper than the Corbin. (It was more like $175
when I bought the Sporttour).

well in the chat room ive met noone but since my idea of messenger
ive already two new friends online with klrs ive actually been able
to talk to around this area klrs are few and far between (at least
ive never seen one around here til the other day (see post eirlier
on safty switches)
nice to be able to talk one on one with someone rather than sit
staring at an empty chat room hoping someone shows up
