Hi Chris,

Availability would be one factor; I know it was for Stephen. Vanagons
are VERY few and far between at wreckers and yard sales around the
rust belt.

Another advantage would be the improved recline angle; I've found the
vanagon seats don't recline far enough for passengers to doze
comfortably on long road trips. That last detail was an unwelcome
discovery I made a few years ago when I upgraded my westfakia from
late-bay vinyl buckets to late-vanagon captains chairs.

Happy Trails,
