The bigger seats just cradle me better. No part of me sticks out past the seat, whether it be head or shoulders, where as they kind of do in the sport seats. You just feel like you are being swaddled in rich napa leather like a little baby. It's like a cocoon. They are just so much bigger and sportive than the sport seats that you feel underwhelmed.

Gotcha. I do love the nappa in my new X5... and the comfort seats are surprisingly comfortable with the clamshell adjustable backrest. My wife and I used to be sports seats only for our BMW's but these have surprised us, especially on trips. They lay down almost flat like a bed for those emergency power naps at rest stops.
Those S5 seats do look mighty comfy. I've sat in some S4 seats but it was older and those look much more comfy.
