It may be that the vibration settles down with a few more miles on the clock. Bikes don't need much running in these days, but they do settle a bit after a while.
Some people have suggested elsewhere on this site to use padded cycling shorts to help with a sore backside, but also say they can feel a bit on the bulky side. I find I definitely suffer from this more in this heat we're currently experiencing. Try good quality merino wool boxer shorts too, much more comfortable against the skin and helps to reduce chafing. Don't get the cheap stuff, it can be itchy. They're actually quite cool (in the temperature sense!) to wear too. Otherwise, it's going to be seat modifications I fear.
You need to change "main bike" in your forum profile too
