I second the "sitting in it." When I bought my chair I got a chair I hadn't even considered previously. I went with an Embody. I was considering an Aeron and Humanscale but they just didn't jive with me. The Steelcase Leap is what I have at work, and after several weeks of sitting in it I already feel like it's not as comfortable as the Embody (and I had the chance of snagging the Leap at 40% off new). If you do buy a Herman Miller (any) they run a semi-annual sale of 15% off; one of those sales starts around Thanksgiving. You might be able to get the discount by haggling or otherwise waiting for the sale.
