From experience, research and from an engineering point of view - you would be much better buying an MK. The price will be almost comparable, but you
get much more of a car from MK with almost all problems ironed out - unlike anything Tiger produce. And no i'm not biased, I'm currently
building an Avon (and wishing it was an MK).

I have the MK R500 type seats in my Tiger CAT,
The subframes required a little modification to get them to fit. But they do go in. Made some bases to fit them into the car and raise them about
1" from marine plywood.
You are right though choice of seats is limited.

I've got Intatrim seats in my Cat - they sell them modded to fit in a Cat.

I chose the Cat because at the time of building it was pretty much the only single sierra donor kit that I could afford (I already had a Sierra).
I've made a few upgrades as money allowed and overall I'm happy with the car I ended up with. Puts a big smile on my face every time I drive
it.
