I have to agree with Boogieman. A low profile seat rides much better. However... It's personal taste and preference. I like the look, feel and riding position of a trim, low, custom seat. On the other hand... If I'm taking a trip like Fred... I'm slapping the Corbin with a backrest on the bike. Bike seats are like shoes, it's hard for one pair of shoes to fit all occasions.
Boogieman, I like your custom America. I wish you would post some more pictures to get a better look at the seat.
