And just to confuse you, you can get Recaros for 1st Gen - and they're super comfy!

There isn't much difference Milano and Demon seat apart from the stetching and a plastic bit of trim behind Lumber support adjuster. Their definiately Demons, although I had to replace a plastic bit of trim on mine and part was ordered for a Milano.

As above really - 1st gen are sparcos and from experience they are pretty heavy... not sure how they compare with the standard S seats though.... ?? The 2nd gen JCW recaro seats are lighter...
Love my sparcos though - very comfortable for me

I think they only make the JCW Recaro's now. The price varies due to the fabric used in the seats just like the JCW sparco's. Cloth, Leather, alcantra or half leather with alcantra. Recaro have put in more padding into their seats in the last year to improve the comfort of the seat. I went for a test drive in a New Cilo Cup 200 I have to say I prefer the latest Recaro's over the Spacros, which were designed 10 years ago. But I still love my JCW Alcantra Spraco's.
