Can someone tell me if GT2 seats are the same as factory Sport Bucket seats, maybe with the exception of fabric vs. leather/alcantara?

Yes the sports buckets are the GT2 seats, so called because this was the 1st production car to include them.

- full leather
- leather/alacantra (boxster spyder et al)
- nomex cloth (clubsport option)

I am confused the cloth seats are listed at $6250 on their site, you get a discounted price 5570 when I ask them for a quote on the leather today I get quoted $6642 apparently including the discount and they are listed at $6795 on the site ....

Doh? Is this new math.....

The 20% discount is relative to the MSRP. The cloth seats have an MSRP of $6966 according to the Suncoast Web site, so 20% off gets you about $5570, which is what I paid. Now the leather seats list for over $10,000, and Suncoast already discounts them more than 30%, so I don't know what to say about the 20% discount here.

None that I can recall, although you will need to PIWIS the missing airbag off to avoid warnings...
