I made the change to the EuroSeat this year with a new Giro 26. It took me some time and adjustment to get the seat comfortable. At first I was pretty dissappointed, but kept trying different seat set ups often only making small incrediment adjustments, in seat tilt and leg length. The Giro has an extra adjustment too with handlebar distance (flex stem). I'd say it took me at least a couple months of tweeking
Now with almost 3000 miles on the bike I'm quite pleased with it. Gone is the recumbent butt. I've ridden more than 2 hours at a time without putting a foot on the ground. I've done 4 centuries too. Would I go back to a recurve seat? I dunno, I liked it, but the Euro works pretty darn well, and it make the bike look..well, sportier.
I have talked to several owners in the last year that have gone back to a Recurve seat. They just couldn't get comfortable on a Euro. Sometimes the fit just can't be found.
