Mark II seats are about the same, I think, but hard to find.  Later seats 
are thicker and reduce legroom.  I find the bugeye seats comfortable.  I 
have a spare pair, but they are probably little better than the ones you 
have.  I passed up a very nice pair last summer (kicking myself) for 
about $150.
