The Schroth folded/sewn sub straps are worth paying the extra money for over the OMP, IMO. That feature is the single biggest difference between the Profi and other belts - the comfort level on the Profi subs is mega.
Pull-up vs pull-down: The Schroth is reversible, but I always end up running them in pull-down config and then routing the excess belt through the hole in the seat. I use the seat as a pulley to convert the pull-down motion into a pull-up motion. When I set the belts up in pull-up mode, I can never get the adjuster close enough to the buckle to not interfere with the seat.

For a single driver, not a big deal -- just a bit of a pain to get right the first time as you'll need to pull the seat a couple of times.
For a passenger seat, mandatory I think.

For you, you take a lot of people for rides, so it would make things much easier and probably safer to have an Enduro belt in the passenger side. Also, I really just want to ride in your car with the Enduro harness
Some drivers have removable seat cushions they run on the street, and take them out on track days. That's what I'm planning for my Sparco. At least on mine, it's definately thick enough to need to adjust the anti-sub strap after you remove it. I'm sure many people would forget or be inclined to just leave their sub straps alone if they need to remove their seat to adjust them.

My local race shop, MER, had several cars available with these types of harnesses installed. I test-sat in an MX-5 practice car that had Safecrafts on the driver side and a Schroth Pofi-II on the passenger. Both harnesses were light-years beyond the G-Forces, but the Safecrafts won me over. MER cut me a deal on 2 harnesses so there wasn't a huge delta over the Schroth's.
Highly recommend test sits, both for seats and harnesses.

Sparco has a new Enduro belt and it's crazy cheap.

Do you think they are long enough to do the same on a bigger guy(6-5" #240) ?
We are looking at the Profi II 6H to allow for the Hans option at a later date.
Then probably the Profi II 6 for the passenger...I assume this is easier to adjust than the clubman for the passenger?
Are those the droids I am looking for?
