Go read all the complaints of pain on the new Alpha 9 seat.
Myself, as long as I keep the seat reclined to 20 degrees or lower, I have zero butt pain but as I think I said, water can accumulate on some bent seats in the rain and then you get a soupy sore butt. Drilling holes and not using a foam pad was my "solution". Bents are better at some things compared to an upright but it is really a horses for course argument. On some terrain, I simply could not ride a bent and on others, I simply would not want to be on anything other than a bent. Proselytizing and droning on and on and on won't convert anyone.
