Heated Seats Not That Hot - Am I Missing Something

Just purchased a CPO '04 9-5 Arc, with both heated and ventilated seats. The seats don't seem to get very warm; at least, any heat is barely noticeable. (And it's been cold here in Boston). This is in contrast to my wife's '03 9-5 Linear with heated (no ventilation) seats - those suckers are hot by the end of the driveway. Took it to the dealer - they checked the entire circuit and diagnosed faulty heater pads. They replaced the bottom and back pads on both seats and proclaimed them A-OK. The service manager said something curious however - that in cars with heated and ventilated seats, the extra padding and ventilation machinery under the leather reduces the effectiveness of the seat heaters, to the point that, in his words, "they won't get very hot, they'll just take the edge off". Does anyone else with this combo have the same experience?
