Adaptive or normal sports seats?

[WILLR]

Is it worth splashing out for the adaptive sports seats in a 987, or just as good to get the manual adjustment sports seats?

How are the sports seats on a long journey?

Not got any experience with 9*7 seats, but just want to point out a similar posting on the 997 forum which might help:

Adaptive seats -

Against:
- Additional weight and complexity. The Boxster is a sports roadster and, as with all the best Porsches - the lighter and simpler the better.
- Cost.
- Both the standard and sports seats will suit many people.

For:
- Provides a huge range of adjustments to, theoretically, ensure perfect comfort and security for almost any shape of driver.
- Memory function ensures instant correct re-adjustment if used by more than one driver
- Some of the extra cost should be reflected in the re-sale desirability.

I have the normal sports seats and while they provide excellent hold for curvy roads, I meanwhile find that I could do with some extra adjustments on longer drives (starting to feel my lower back a little as there's a support hole for me).
