I got my RSTD with a Russell seat and have never been more pleased. I had a VTX with a Mustang seat that would start to bite you after the 2nd fuel stop on long rides. I do not like that brand at all. The guys I ride with (a Goldwing, and 2 Kawasaki's) don't like me to lead since I don't stop as often as they would like for their stock and Mustang seats. Get the Russel.
