Default Sparco sprint or Sparco speed

My car is a daily driver and right now im deciding between these two seats. . .anyone recommend one over the other? is the speeds worth the extra amount you pay? Anything on these 2 seats will help, especially personal experiences with them. Do they wear down fast? etc etc. anything will help.
Thanks

like a lot of people, they as well autox their daily driver. . .and i was asking for information on the seats, not for criticism

right now i have 2 corbeau cr1's which are reclinable. . .i really have no purpose for them since i sit straight up, no gangster lean here. . .so im getting something thats more practical for me in my opinion

I'd go with a higher end seat for a daily driver. The low end Sparcos don't have as much padding as the lower end ones.

I daily a Pro2000.

Watch out for the H-T Seat *****.

im not critisizing, just asking why you would need a race seat in your DD

if you autocross, great. the sprints are FIa apprived the speed's arent. thats the only major diffrence, both are entry level sparco's.

I bet they're not comfortable for a daily driver.

Bucket seats are fine for daily driving, don't worry about it.
Need rails?

I have the Speed on the drivers side with a home made lumbard pillow my sister made me and i also have a Sprint on the passenger side. I chose to drive in the speed because its less of a bucket seat and felt more comfortable to me for over all driving situations. The sprint on the other hand feels to cramped and it feels like it needs to be adjusted a bit. All my passengers like my sprint, especially the girls proclaiming "its so comfortable!". Anyways theres my 2 yen.
