I was going to pull the trigger if the Amex $150 was still active, but it's not. How much better might a deal get? I don't know if I can stomach dropping this much on a chair!

While this item can be returned through January, there appears to be a $75 return fee. This means I would only save about $100 by going through the effort of the return process and repurchasing at the lower price. I haven't decided if I feel like doing that yet.
As far as the chair goes, it's decent but haven't decided yet if it's my forever char. I have the Leap at work (without headrest), and had never tried the gesture before purchasing it. I'm 6'2 and a skinny build. I find that the headrest doesn't seem to be in a great position to be used ever, and is pretty flimsy. I can put my head back on it, but not while I'm looking at my computer screen typically. I also find that the seat pan is at least 3 inches too short, even extended as far as it will go.
TIA for any recommendations!

The chairs are very nice.
Got a hold of a guy selling one in good condition for 300. Met up with him at a storage place. He shows me his box filled with the good shit, aerons, leaps, gestures, etc. Friendly chat, let me walk away with a very good condition leap v2 for 225.
5.5 years later. still rides like fresh. I love it. Cannot imagine another chair to hit all the points. Mind you, I'm short - 5'10 and it gets low enough for me to not dangle.
Hope this helps
The Sayl chair had a very comfy seat but the back was too short. At home, I bought an Embody chair for christmas a couple of years ago. That farker cost $1400 and I admit, I kinda regret it. The back is too short. It's like HM designs their chairs for people no larger than 5'10 and doesn't give a shit. It works! As a daily work chair, it's fine.
Honestly, the embody replaced a gaming chair (dxracer king) that I still use for random lounging around at another table. I think I'm going to buy another gaming chair for that purpose haha.
Since your posture is good, you might have good luck with an embody. The logitech model has more padding! I dunno. It's really farking expensive though. My posture is goofy, and the embody tries to force good posture, which makes me sore and antsy after a while. Plus I think it was made for somebody with no butt.
Also, they don't really do price match unless you find a really really nice CSR. They will usually tell you to return and rebuy, and the return cost will eat into your saving.
