[#0000FF]Sounds like you are narrowing down your options.
Last tube I bought was a Fat Cat...with the foam seats. I got a shot at buying the inflatable bottom seat at a super price and did so. I like the inflated much better. Us heavy types tend to make the bottom of the foam seats sag a bit over time. Adding wood or plexiglas support helps but having an adjustable comfort range with the inflated is even better.
Once you have made a firm decision, fire up the search engine and get creative. It is amazing the deals you can come up with for end-of-year, end of model line, close-outs and plain desperation sales.
Heck, there are even some non-new tubes being sold after only a couple of uses at a "deflated" price. Swallow your pride and go for it. You can buy more jig-making materials with the bucks you save.
