Like so many thing seats seem to be very subjective it's kind of like the subject of coilovers how some people will say this is too hard or this is too soft etc. I've driven both for RCF as well as a GS F. I work at NYC Convention Center and year at this yrs autoshow I was able to spend nearly eight days out of 10 sitting in both RCF and the GSF late at night when the show was over. And for me I preferred RCF/GSF seats. I'm 5'8 175lbs with 31in waistline with large upper back, I hit the gym 4 days week. I found that the RCF seats were more sculpted out, like if they had been scooped out of large piece of fine leather sort of like when you take a spoon and scoop out a section of ice cream again for me it felt like you sat in the RCF seats while with the ISF seats you sit on them. If you're bigger guy ISF seats will probably feel more comfortable that I get. Here are some comparison pics of my ISF seats and RCF. I think there really is no good or bad in this comparison it's just preference.

Did you get your seats retrimmed in alcantara? Or was that from factory?

Looks like they would be "sticky" to get in and out instead of sliding over leather, but they also look AWESOME!!

These are factory OEM seats, from 2011+ this how ISF seats come. No their easy to get in and out of just like leather seats.

The Alcantara covers are also quite a bit cheaper than the full leather ones if you need to replace them. I thought about converting my car, but the price of a conversion didn't make any sense compared to just recovering the driver's seat.
