M-Sport Seats vs Sport Seats. Any experiences?

As the title says, I'm struggling to choose between the M-Sport seats or the regular seats, which are sport seats.

I sat in a car today that has the M-Sport seats and they didn't seem all that comfy, though I admit I didn't get to adjust them much. I have sport seats in my G21 and they're OK, not super comfy but OK. I would definitely not want something firmer or less comfy than the ones I have right now.

Does anybody have experience properly trying both types of seats and can give me/us an informed opinion of how is it to take the car for a long ride with the M-Sport seats?

Just in case, these are the M-Sport seats I mean:

I’m fearing that, just like on the non-M 3-series, the M-Sport seats will not be available with Merino leather on the i4.

Yes, I'm seeing this in start of sales info package, merino only available with sports and ventilated seats. M Sport seats only get two vernasca options, nothing else.

seat comfort seems to be a contentious issue on these forums. My suggestion is to try all the seat options and decide what works best for you.

Probably he means this one: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CSclmH_qJ08/

But that's the Safety car, no word of those seats making it into the production car yet.

M-Sport seats are firm but supportive in my experience.
