New seat dilemma.... What should I order?

New seat dilemma.... What should I order? Well first of all thanks to all who replied to my other post when I was trying to decide on a color combo (insert or not). I am definetly going all black and deleted that post... Thanks for the input!
Now, my new dilemma is this. I just realized the new, cheaper seats might not be the best choice... Here's the story:
Well, the seats I found are the seats I was originally looking at... BUT the COMPANY I was originally looking at has UPGRADED their seats and they're much better...
Originally they looked like RECARO's (pics stolen from a recent thread
):
Here's a pic the other company sells and the seat is IDENTICAL to an old pic I stored of the Arizen seat:
You can see they are basically RECARO knock-offs but are only $400 for a brand new leather set...
NOW here's the new pic of the NEW Arizen seat:
It has adjustable lumbar, better ***** and LOOK AT THE IMPROVED thigh support (much taller in the front)! These are $699 for a pair of leather seats...
So, maybe I won't be ordering the other seats on Monday
.
Then again, I could just order the same NEW seat but in BLACK CLOTH for $399 for the pair:
The cloth might be a better choice for the California sun (not to mention I might still slide around in the leather) but the leather obviously has a nicer more elegant look to it...
Would you:
A) Just buy the cheaper leather set...
B) Buy the cloth set with more features...
C) Just save and buy the nicer leather set with all the features...
Thanks for taking the time to read and respond

Also, good cloth doesn't fade easily.. all leather will eventually wrinkle and get lines in it.
Recaro cloth FTW!!

Get cloth. I have leather, I hate it, I'm getting cloth covers. Leather is sold as a status thing, just extra profit for car companies. It's too slippery, gets permanent wrinkles and scratches, has to be "conditioned", etc. etc. The cloth seats in our 140K Pontiac beater are still in great shape.

I would recommend the cloth, and also not the Arizens. I just purchased the Arizen leathers myself with "adjustable lumbar" and heating units installed, but they are not very comfortable. The seats are very narrow, so unless you have a narrow trunk, fogedaboudit.
