Swapping 14 FoST Recaro ST3 seats to FiST

Sup guys. I did some reading both here and the FB owner's group, but still haven't got a clear idea how a pair of ST3 fronts seats swap would be.

Specifically I finished this thread (parts from a 15 FoST ST3):

And this YT walk through, which is basically a video version of the thread above:

My question is that as many pointed out, 12-14 FoST seats have a different design than 15+, thus making it a 'easier' fit for Fists, so is the procedure from posts above the supposedly 'easier' fit? Another thread using 16 FoST 2 seats for the swap also used the same methods, that is to bolt the plastic support from the FoST bottom to the FiST bottom, keeping the railing from the Fist seat base. I wonder if seats prior to 15 redesign would have a different arrangement, whether that would make it worse or simpler?
I'm on a 19 FiST with stock cloth seats. The seats I'm planning to get are here:
