They have put newer seats in some of the cars at least on the Keystone trains.

If you're taking it from Paoli, I would recommend trying to catch one of
their express trains. They use Amtrak-grade cars which are much more comfortable to ride in than the normal MUs. I am not sure what their morning assignments are other than the Great Valley Flyer, but I know in the evening almost every express going out to Thorndale is one of these.
All that having been said, SEPTA is getting new multi-level MUs and coaches, which should be far more comfortable than the 40+ year old SLIVs.
