Another seat question

I've scoured the internet for a comparison of the height of the X5M's sport (standard) seats versus the comfort/ventilated seats, but I'm coming up empty handed. I'm not looking for a comparison of their respective comfort, simply the height differences, if any, between the two. As a current owner of a BMW with comfort seats, I can say they fit my 6'4" frame very well. On the other hand, I've watched seemingly every video pertaining to these vehicles on youtube, and the one which stands out most in my head is Jeremy Clarkson's review from Top Gear. The X5M from that episode is equipped with the standard sport seats and I can't help but notice the headrest is nestled behind his neck and nowhere near the midline of his head. Granted the headrest doesn't appear to be fully raised, but the seat seems to have a smallish stature to it . I've also compared the two seat's vertical positions using the BMW configurator, and although it may be an illusion, the comfort seats look to have a taller back to them. Anyone on the board who has seen/driven both and care to comment on any differences you noticed? These trucks are in very short supply in my region (1 in the entire state currently) so your feedback is very much appreciated.

i have had both seats, the comfort seats are a world of difference better. i am 6'2'' and with the headrest up all the way, its well behind my head/not neck. clarkson is an ass, when he "lost" to the jag he didnt use the launch control system.he gave the M 2 minutes compared to the heaven sent range rover predictable bs. the show is garbage but the comfort seats are not haha.
