Could be up for swapping seats if we eventually end up with a 9 seater. Where are you based? How soon are you looking to swap?
I had the same problem when I bought mine 5 years ago. I opted for a 9 seater 155 SWB in the end but in hindsight I'd have gone for a 125hp and had it remapped, which I did anyway. I did the conversion from 9 to 8 seats in mine a couple of years back, best thing I ever did.
If you joined the Custom Owners Group on FB there's a guy on there sells single seats that they take out of taxi and camper conversions. I got mine from him for £400 then offset that by selling my double on Fleabay for £250.
By the way, the insurance is so much more reasonable on the 8 compared to the 9, but you probably already know that.
