Seats, Tom’s vs. Wild Horses (Cabello) experience?

I am starting to shop for new front seats. I have never seen either of these seats in person. Has anyone sat in both of these options? Which do you like better, and why? Thanks.
If you can, I would try to sit in both before buying. Seats are one of those things where specs and photos only tell you so much.

Between the two, I would pay attention to how firm the bottom cushion is, how much side support you get and how high the seat actually puts you in the Bronco. A seat can feel great for ten minutes and then get annoying on a longer drive if the cushion angle or lumbar area does not suit you.

I would also check the mounting height and slider setup carefully. On an early Bronco even a small difference in seat height can change how comfortable the steering wheel and pedals feel.

If anyone here has actually spent a few hours in both, that would probably be more useful than just hearing which one looks better.

I sat in both at Supercel this spring and ended up buying the WH caballo seats in the diamond pattern. They felt great and the salesperson (Justin?) sold Garrett and the research quite well.

The surprising part is that they're pretty much identical in frame to the Bestop Trail Max II that I was upgrading from. That means my holes, mounts, etc all lined up and I reused them. Pretty sure both companies use the trail Max II frame and build from there
