Thank you!
All I will say is that the cost difference is a lot

Also, like you pointed out, the real one is more round and fits the hand better (at least mine .. or is it me trying to justify the hefty price tag .. )
Haha, if it makes you feel better, my wife immediately thought the fake one looked cheap compared to the authentic one.

But yes. The fake ones vary. My fake one is actually pretty good apart from the sitting center issue.
I've seen much worse examples though. Ones where the stitching is either on the top instead or bottom or just off to the side haha.

I've also added some high res pictures for better comparability at the first post
