Been trying out a few Omegas - clearly the MV6 is sharper on the B roads, but I'm looking for a confortable motorway cruiser. 

Do you reckon the standard setup is any more or less comfortable than the MV6 after a fulll day of motorway boredom?

depends on your body shape.

I find it's a mix between seat comfort (Elite) and under-knee support (MV6)

but everyone's different.

My old Omega which had MV6 suspension was still very comfortable

I find the knee support great on my mv6. I have no arguments after a 220mile journey in mine

chassis wise, mv6 all day long, seats not bothered either way. memory on the elite though, but the chassis on elite is a liitle wayward in comparisson ime.

I have done 900miles in a day more than once in the MV6 (prefacelift), bright and fresh at the end (Mrs TheBoy does a 2 or 3 hour stint while I have a kip)

I wish i could convince my Mrs to do that all i get is if the cars that comfy you drive and park the big orrible thing

She doesn't like to parallel park the Omegas, but is more than happy to do 'her share' on a long motorway run so I can get a couple of hours ZZZzzzzz's in...

I find the side support on the MV6 seats can get uncomfortable on really long drives. Probably a sign that I'm becoming too much of a lard @rse. Much rather have the support they provide though.

Chassis wise the MV6 setup is never uncomfortable IMHO, but then I've never found a wallowy setup comfortable. Motorways are smoothish so it doesn't really matter if the ride is a little more firm. Comfort for me is knowing it'll make it round the roundabout at the top of the slip road.

Good - at least I needn't be shy of getting an MV6 on comfort grounds. 

As regards body shape, I reckon spider legs, size elevens and a lard @rse is probably close 

Interesting points about the knee support.  Now I think about it, the reason I like cruise is that I get a dead leg trying not to break the limit (too much  ) in cars without knee support. 

Am I the only one that used to double up throttle springs just so I could relax the right foot at speed?

No trouble getting Mrs Osprey to do a stint but there's no way anyone could sleep through it!

(I do profoundly hope she isn't on line now  )

must admit i find the mv6 better than the elite comfort wise, fitting snug into the seat & the leg support really helps me. as for the suspension, yeh its harder but on motorways, really dont notice it much. nice on the twisties though.
