From one golden-ager to another,

You are certainly old and wise enough to know that there is no economically sound approach to anything with either brakes or breasts. The pursuit of anything with either attribute is to be based on desire, passion, and of course ‘fit’. You need to find what does those best for you and that’s your choice. I will say the BA seat has it all over the SM seat in versatility, and if you chose a SM, the dealer should be willing to swap seats. As for resale value – At your age don’t fuss about it, let your heirs worry about it.
