Question Evenflo Maestro or Cosco Finale for airplane / car rental?

Didn't see much information about Cosco Finale as it is a new release but the possibility of harnessed use up to 65" seems very interesting.

I need to get car seats for 5 and 3 y.o. kids for our vacation considering a 7-hour flight.

From what I have read the negative on Cosco Finale is lack of padding other than the cover itself. Would it be bothersome for a toddler for such long time in a plane?

The other option is widely known (Maestro) but surprisingly couldn't find much data about the cushioning also.

Neither seat has a large amount of cushioning. Most kids don't mind. The biggest issue with either of them (and nearly any seat forward facing on a plane) is that the plane's buckle ends up behind the child's back and that can be bothersome for some kids.

The Finale doesn't go to 65", that's far taller than I am. It goes to 49" harnessed or 65 pounds. I've found those limits to be fairly realistic.
