walker suspension seat vs other options

ok people how is your back, knee and ankles? most scapers dont have smooth lawns and we bounce around on everything. the faster you go the worse it is. does anyone know if they make a suspension foot rest thing? i guess it would be universal. now to the seat two local dealers one is a crook wanting $1000 and another wants about $800. how does the walker seat with weight adjustment compare to others and ive seen on ebay universal ones for about $500. is there a place online that sells walkers cheaper? or let me know about other brands that are just as good? and who is using what? and going from a fixed to suspension how is it? advice ? info? stories? details? let me know thanks

I have the Michigan seat. Got it last year and it's been great. First one they sent arrived broken though.

Walker sells a kit to raise the levers when you install a suspension seat.
