I went a few months in my new company with a $100 Staples "executive" chair. It was fine for a few hours at a time. At 12 hours per day though it's horrible. Yes, it's really worth it. No, there's no really good cheap alternative. I also highly recommend the $50 lumbar support thingie (you can "install" it yourself in 5 seconds).
