Love my Aeron – it’s the only chair I can sit in comfortably for multiple hours. I got mine (and one for my wife) on eBay for about the price of the Leap. Mine’s a C with adjustable lumbar support and arms. Sam’s is a B with adjustable lumbar but fixed arms.
I had to wait a bit for them to come up, but it only took a week or so.

I’ve been super happy with everything else about the chair just wish I had included this one thing.

I went and tried out a Steelcase Leap yesterday (showroom in Auckland is only open M-F). Felt plasticy to me and cheap and even though it does have a lot of good options. If I do pull the trigger it's going to be for the Aeron. I have a feeling it's also because I'm on the larger side and so will prob go with the 'C' option as well. Price wise was $745 for the Leap and $1500+ for the Aeron. Looking at the options it can get up to $3000 for the Aeron if you bling it out with all the swanky extras.

I'm a tad on the larger side so I bought a size C. For most I'd recommend a size B. They're great though, good investment.

I've been looking into investing into one that's going to last me a long time. In previous companies I've used Aerons and they are awesome though really expensive. I've heard recently good things about the Steelcase Leap<http://www.steelcase.com/products/office-chairs/leap/> as well so was wondering if anyone else had any other suggestions? Cheers, Dave
