Personally, I’d take the backpack one and build up a custom cushion for your butt and go that way. Only recommended if you’ve got enough legroom because the backpack is about 3” thick and not going to compress, so it’ll shim you forward in the seat.
Repacking isn’t too costly, and I’d call any local skydiving place for exact numbers for you. It’s been too long for me to recall what dad paid for these repacks. I have a L29 jet and we have the strong paracushion 602, you can add or remove cushion material. Dont get me wrong, its like wearing a backpack with a diapher on the bottom, but in flight, sitting, you cant tell its there.
