Default Corbeau Micro Suede Impressions

Anyone provide impressions on how Corbeau Micro Suede seats wear, i.e. how durable the fabric is?

I have a set of Corbeau TRS seats with normal fabric. I love them but they are wearing out. The TRS model doesn't have those wear patchs on the bolsters so they are worn where you rub on the seat getting in the car. Looks pretty crappy.

I was figuring on replacing them with a new set of TRS with Micro Suede, with the thought that the Micro Suede would wear longer. Any thoughts? Should I get a different model like the CR1 or A4 with the wear patches? I saw one guy's Corbeau seat. I don't know which model but it was pretty flimsy and the springs were wearing out in the lumbar area. I wish the TRS model had those wear patches, but if the Micro Suede wears well, I will buy a pair.

Thanks

I'm not sure how the suede versions wear, why not contact an upholsterer and add the wear patches to the ones you have? Cost less than all new seats.
