POLL: Recaros or Factory Sport Seats?

I seldom care what others think usually but I turn to members of this board for their input on this one since I'm pretty much stuck right in the middle of decision making.

Easy question: Go with Recaro Sport Topline or stay with Factory Sport Seats?

Factory Sport Seats
Pros: Factory Quality, Leather, OEM, Resale Value, Color Matching to Interior

Recaro Sport Topline
Pros: Heated and Air Cooled, Some Power Adjustments, Lower Seating Height(=more headroom and lower center of gravity), Adjustable Thigh Support, A Bit Lighter, Lumbar Support (I really miss having Lumbar support after I got Factory Sport Seats), Cloth to grip you better in corners, Better bolster support, Harness Support

Those Recaros look great. I hate the stock (non sport) seats in my 996. The only competition for the Recaros are the 997 Adaptive sport seats. I would gladly take either for mine.

The sport (gt3) seats for sure. These things feel like they are hugging you through turns. I really am not a fan of the non stock look of the recaros
