Fortunately, at 6' 1" with 33" inside leg, I also find the standard seats good: whilst initially they feel too narrow, I have no aches or pains after 4 hours or more non-stop.
I agree with this. At first I was very concerned about the seats but have had no pain or discomfort after many 2+ hour trips. They still noticeably short but I can honestly say that body has not suffered as a result.
