seat concept foam hight question

Hi looking to buy a seat concept from sr moto and was wondering if the foam hight really makes a difference... I'm 120lbs and installing a yamalink on my bike today.. should I go for the extra 3/4 of an inch lower with the lower seat? Just wondering if you can feel the difference between thickness of the seats

For me it was worth it... it lowers you AND it widens the "butt space" (technical term ) so more of you is on the seat. Much better for long distances.

I replaced my standard Seat Concepts seat with a low seat on my WRR and rode 500 miles in the Bridgeport area last week. The 3/4 inch height reduction provided by the low seat made a big difference in downhill, low speed, rocky, steep, technical areas where paddling and dabbing were needed. I had previously done the stock lowering and had installed a Yamalink, but the bike was still too high for me in those situations which is why I just got the low seat. The Seat Concepts low seat is as comfortable, if not more so, than the standard Seat Concepts seat. I'm 5'9", 145 lbs.

That's awesome.. I just installed a yamalink too and did some sag and other adjustments... just a hair to tall for me still.. that's why I was wondering if the low foam made a difference.. but thanks, I think I'm going to order it right now.. and I don't put much weight in the bike.. I am 5'6" and only 125 lbs with all riding gear.. so I don't make much of a dent when I sit on it..
