You'll lose cushion to lose some height. What do you need most?

Simple:

Low:  Do you need low because your legs are not long enough or not?  If not, then do not get low because it is harder.  If you need low, then get low because it is lower.

Pod:  Will you ever ride with a passenger?  If so, then don't get the pod.  If not, then get the pod because it is great storage and looks neat.

Heated:  Do you ride in cold weather and does your butt get cold?  If so, get heated.  If not, don't.

I like sitting lower and the look of the low seat better, but I am 6'4 280lbs so probably the regular seat will be better on my legs not to get cramped etc and the extra cushion wouldn't hurt either :)

There’s not much cushion in even the regular. It’s not as bad as the Corbin , it’s not like a Buick. I have had mine for six years and it’s good for long trips. I tried the sergeant low seat and it felt like a piece of vinyl covered steel- that’s how little padding it had.

It is pretty hard.  Nice seat but not cushy.  That is why I do not recommend the low version unless it is really necessary.
