Thought I'd share my recently acquired seat information.
The seats are (on the left in the photo) stock Porsche comfort seats out of a later year model 911 and are fully power adjustable including seat heaters, the other seat (on the right) is a manual seat out of EVO.
Weight difference is 20 lbs between the two (Porsche seat is heavier) - total of 40 lbs.
The seat base is about the same height while the EVO seat has a little deeper side bolsters and is slightly taller.

Which seat would you rather look through the window and see?
Personally I can't stand the "belt holes" and Recaro logo on the EVO seat pictured. It'd look fine as a seat without but...
Is the 40lbs worth that much to you?
The "late" seat is probably pretty comparable to power 944/968 seats, which also have about a ~20lb difference vs 944 manual seats.

Hey, no need to brag!
Comfort vs performance.
I've sat in the EVO seats before - good for 'spirited' driving, but I wouldn't call them comfortable for anything else.
