You are a wise guy, trying to start a religious flame war between the
Visionaries and the Church of RANS. ;)

Which one is the most comfortable for a position with BB in-line
or sligthly lower than the seat?

I own both a Rocket and a VR40. I find the Vision seat much more comfortable.
This is a highly individual choice, though. Most people who own them swear by
the RANS seats. I think that they are very comfortable, just not a much so as
the Vision seat.

they both have pros and cons: Pros: RANS-higher seat back, built in
lumbar [some do not like that though] water cage mounts VISION- full
mess, no pressure points on the bottom, easier to install.

I agree.

Actually lumbar support is easily customized on a Vision seat using
the straps which attach the seat-back fabric. This could likely be
accomplished on a RANS as well, but on a Vision it is extremely easy
to adjust/dial in.

I've not done more than 20 miles on a RANS but after 30 miles on a
Bacchetta seat (which felt oh-so-comfortable at first), my back-side
was telling me not to mess with a good thing. This (along with my
preference for USS) really was the deciding factor between buying my
4th Vision (now on my 5th) or my first Bacchetta.
