I think you are off with wine in your %, and I think many people can tell the difference in seat comfort. Can a 9 year old, or a 25% woman? Probably not, but then the size of the lower cushon is not going to be an issue and their weight will not sink very far into the padding. but for anyone who is larger (and I don't mean fat, I just mean a 75% female and probably a 50% male, I don't think these are going to be more comfortable.

But hey, the financial results are published, always interesting to see how UAs "aim for the bottom" strategy will work out LONG TERM.
