Default 2010 vs 2011 Touring Drivers seat bracket

Hi, I've got a 2010 Touring Sport and just before I purchased it, I drove a 2011 Touring Sport. I'm 6'2" and though my 2010 has an okay seat position when the seat is pushed back, it seemed to me that the 2011 had a longer seat track which had me a few inches further from the pedals.
Does anyone know if the seat track from the 2011 is slightly longer than the 2010?
A Hyundai dealer sent me these part #'s for drivers side seat tracks for the touring but said they had no actual specs on the part's size.

Thepart numbers are:
88501-2L500
88501-2L560
88501-2L580

Thanks for any insight.

I have an '11 SE model, US, and the tracks measure 15 1/4 inches and the frames on which the track rides, bolt to bolt, is 17 inches.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Greg,
I'm going to check my 2010 dimensions and see how they stack up. Hyundai Canada has also sent me a pseudo cryptic email which said that the 2011 had superior interior room, I'm not quite sure what that means but they also gave me a list of part #'s though with no descriptions. If the runners are the same length, I've found some aluminum square tubing which I'm fabbing into a front bracket riser so at least the seat will support the thigh a little better. If the 2011 runner is longer, then I'll swap them out. Thanks for the measurements!
