The new outfitting can be pretty good depending on what you're looking for. In the past I have always just custom configured my boats to suit me and had good success. One of our touring boats has outfitting similar to yours with a few more doo-dads and lower seat back. They have certainly come a long way in the last decade or so. Surprisingly, 2 of my most comfy boats are on older Current Designs and an Older Perception with fixed seat pans and relatively small back bands. I've foamed them out a bit to personal taste but I can spend a lot of time in them without discomfort.
