Cloth seat vs. leather seat
Just a warning for those who about to purchase the cloth seat.
I stopped by a car dealer yesterday and first I tried out the car with the cloth seat but my first immediate feeling it feels a bit stiff. The seat sort of pushes against my back instead of trying to support its contour. It felt really uncomfortable. I then tried out the car with the leather seat and it felt much much more comfortable and soft. I felt like I could relax in it for a long trip. So I guess it's worth the extra cost for the touring model.
Also the salesman told me there is a 1K off msrp at the moment.

What's uncomfortable to you may be greatly comfortable to someone else.
Every1 is shaped differently, not everyone has the same curvature in their spine homie.
A skinny a.ss may find the seat not tight enough, and would be getting thrown around during hard cornering, while a lard a.ss would have back fat pouring out the sides of the seat and may find the seat too heavily bolstered. Moral of the story? Go test drive
the car for yourselves and see what's more comfortable for you.

Don't know how big you are, but i'm 5'9 195 lbs and I fit perfectly in the cloth seats. I actually prefer the cloth over the leather especially in Florida weather.

Seriously --- The 350Z seats are very low in the comfort section...high grip but I have spent HOURS in the seat and at 170lbs I can safely say they are not grand touring seats lol.
But thankfully Recaro makes great comfy seats for people much heavier than myself.
At 999 retail its not even that bad when you consider the quality and comfort upgrade...Im sure you can find it cheaper but just a thought for those who may not fit in the stock seat.
