BA seats are not a straight swap.

BA seats are very different and won't legally fit without major work and an engineers report. leave out the engineers report at your peril, if you're in an accident without it you'll be in court forever and very poor.
you can get a trimmer to re-upholster your seat with different padding to suit you

Don't know about anyone else but the LTD seats in my Sportsman are some of the most comfortable I've ever sat in in a Ford. The 10 way electric seats are adjustable every which way and I've been known to do 1000km in a day in them and get out not feeling stiff.

The seats in the wife's 75th Anniversary are the most comfortable AU seats that I've sat in. Soft leather and very supportive. Also, with the 10-way electrics, there is a great capabilities for adjusting it to be perfect. I prefer them over the TL50 seats in mine.. Great for long trips..
