The ventilated/massaging seat hardware definitely adds some firmness to the seat. However, I did a similar comparison and appreciated the slightly firmer seat. The softer one almost felt too cushy and like I was sinking into it an awkward amount.

It's ultimately personal preference as to which is better; but objectively the ventilated/massaging seats are indeed more firm than non-ventilated version.
