the RES might be a PITA to live with but I'm sure glad i got it if only for the tilt feature of the head rest. I would have had to replace the headrests otherwise. it unbelievable the degree to which ford is reducing convenient contents, at a level which might not be obvious is a brief test drive or online purchase. head rest likes seats should be adjustable for different type of heads - I realize may sport cars and recaro seats do not have this feature, but those headrests by design tend to fit most necks and are physiologically designed and often are a single piece with the seat back
