I prefer "exacting". I'm that way about my bus sometimes.

I don't know any details about bus seating options, except for the obvious
points such as, 8-seat non-walk-thrus have a short 2-person middle seat
(like mine), while 9-seaters have a full-length middle seat.

I do wonder (speculation here) if the floor mounts are identical for
either configuration. Maybe the nine-seaters just have more sticking
out toward the sliding door, and maybe an extra seat-frame support
that extends down to the floor but isn't bolted down like the rest of
the supports are? Anybody out there have one of these full-length middle
seats, and can check and let us know?
