I agree.  I've been the passenger in a few different SHOs (including
my own, rarely) and greatly prefer to have the full power seat.  I
don't know how much it weighs, and I don't care.  I like it.

If anybody is so concerned about weight they have bigger fish to fry
than the power passenger seat.  Hell, it's easy enough to swap if
someone's building a lightweight racer.

Besides, with a full power driver's seat and a manual passenger seat
the 50/50 balance (left to right) would be messed up.  That's
unacceptable.

If I had that kind of weight differential I'd have to start removing
stuff from the left side.  Lug nuts, wheels studs, etc.

Oh, never mind.  I forgot about the imbalance due to my 220-lb. fat
ass in the driver's seat <grin>.
