Yes it is a tad taller.
I've had both Bagster Bultex and Yamaha comfort.
Bagster ready lux was off chrome burner. It was too soft. My butt could constantly feel the seat pan.
The Yamaha comfort was abit too hard and tall for my liking. But the material that was used offers huge amounts of grip as compared to the original seat.
For reference, i'm 5 7 and have a 32" inseam.
Eventually I sold both and reverted back to the original.
YMMV. Hope this helps.
