Yeah, after reading all the reviews I could find, I think the day-long may actually be more comfortable, but it's awfully ugly. Also, it's built on your original pan and they require 2 retries before you can return it, so I'm out a ride while I'm waiting for it, and I'm out quite a bit more shipping if it isn't right the first time. So my current plan is to get the ultimate x and head to Jacksonville and back on a Saturday. That will give me 300 miles. Depending on when their 14 day return policy starts and ends, I may be able to get a second saturday ride in the next week if it doesn't feel as comfortable as I like, figuring that maybe the first run was needed to break it in. If it still doesn't work, then I'll try the day-long. It would just make me feel better about laying out the money if my wife and I could sit on one first. And someone may have something they love that is cheaper that I haven't thought of yet.
