For some reason I thought I read that the 2013 rs has a more comfortable seating position. Am I wrong?

I rode an STS today and it was very comfortable. They also had an RS there, but I forgot to ask if it was a 2013, it was not nearly as comfortable to me.

Looking at the brochures from the past couple of years; I'd say that the ergos are relatively unchanged...

The new RS has basically RT style handlebars. So the sitting position of the 13' RS would be very similar to the sitting position of the 12' RS with the 1" BRP handlebar riser.

At SF I had a chance to directly compare a '13 RS to an earlier RS and current ST and RS at the same time and place. The '13 RS bars are slightly higher, but not as high as the ST (but they look to be interchangeable) and nowhere near the RT handlebars.
