What seats should I put in my 1970 911 S?

As real Recaro S seats are too expensive for me, I'm thinking about some replica seats for my 1970 911 S. I must state that I'm not planning any kind of race car (no stripes or anything like that), just an ordinary car – as ordinary as a 911 S can be –, with al the chrome, etc... I'd just want some more lateral support that normal seat can give.
Please check the pictures bellow, and give me your honest opinion... Thanks!

A - looks a bit too modern
B - headrest too big
C - looks the part
D - wimpy side support

I would pick c it looks more retro and cooler than the other seats.

Thanks for all the votes and opinions!
They say the A option is an almost true replica of the Recaro S design... is it?

Where are you sourcing these from? Sensible prices?

Seat A.
If you are putting all that work into matching the car to original spec, the Recaro S look it has to be.
I've not yet sat in one of these Mark Waring replicas, but if they are only half as good as real ones,
then they offer plenty of support and are almost the most comfortable sport seats you can fit,
especially for long trips...

I'm sorry, but it's hard not to mention this, specially as I'm about to buy ones... on both sites posted on this thread there seems to be an enormous price difference between what looks to be the same seat: the Recaro Sport Seat Replica.
Any special reason for this? Thanks,
