The Apex seat has less space to the side but has equal width along the length of the bed, meaning much more space to move your feet and legs. I personally prefer Apex. I love having the massive open space in front of me and not having my feet squashed. But some people hate it and prefer having lots of space to stretch out sideways. Only you can decide if you can tolerate the Apex seat and won't be unhappy choosing JL.
+1

the great thing about Apex is it’s openness - no cocooning crap around you to bang your feet/knees/etc into. a bit on the narrow side as unimatrix says but unlimited/open vertical space along the entire length of the seat.
