Question for multi-VR owners about comfort

A couple of months ago I sold my OG Vive. It was a great system but I found it mostly uncomfortable (even after I purchased the DAS). I was unable to wear it for more than 30-45 minutes at a time as the pressure on my face was just too much. Contrast this to my friend's PSVR which really sold me on the halo design as being the most comfortable. It took all the pressure off my face and so I could wear it for hours easily.But I want something that'll do PCVR. The Rift S and Cosmos are the two that obviously stuck out. I know about the recent Quest news with the tether, and honestly, I'm already disqualifying it because it just seems like the overwhelming opinion out there that it's front-heavy and fairly uncomfortable. However, I do hear a lot of comments on the Index being quite comfortable.. but not being a halo-design worries me.And I hate that I can't just walk into a store and try all these on since comfort is very subjective... If you live around Cleveland and don't mind a nerd coming over to try out your HMDs, let me know. :)So, long story, short... I'm interested in the opinions out there if you've own the vive, the index, PSVR, and/or the rift S in terms of pure comfort. I don't need any reviews on differences between the lenses, fov, refresh rate, etc.. I got all that. Would love to hear from you about the comfort... ESPECIALLY if you owned an OG Vive and found it uncomfortable (as I did).I want to be able to play games for hours... comfort is extremely important. Doesn't really matter how good the lenses are if I don't want to put the damn thing on my head.Thanks!
