IMO the point of racing seats are to save weight first and provide rigidity second. I can tell you that the regular, leather 2SS seats are some of the most comfortable seats I've ever sat in in a car. Are the Recaro seats even any lighter? If I were given the option between the two seats at the same cost, I'd probably go for the Recaros based on looks (I've never sat in them, so I'd have to test them out, too). However, for the premium and the miniscule - if any - weight savings...it seems more like buying name brand medication. You're paying more for a name than performance.
