Chairs for tall people

Hello, Im in the market for a new office/gaming chair. Ive been using a cheap Costco chair for a while now and I want to upgrade to some thing nicer that fits me better. I'm 6'5 190lbs so its been a bit difficult trying to find something. I contacted Maxnomic about their office comfort line but the rep. told me that the office comfort series would be too small for me, "At 6'5, the only chair that is going to fit you is our XL. It's going to be 'roomy' for you, but it will be the only chair to accommodate your height". Im not really interested in the XL because of the price premium and i want something that will fit me and not be "roomy". I find this strange because their website says it fits people up to 6'7 but whatever. Could you guys make any suggestions? I really don't want to spend more than $450ish and i want something that's going to last me a long time, also Im looking for something that can support my head.

I really really could use a chair that has a high piston and back as well.

Ok after doing some research it seems that a head rest is not the best thing for your posture. For example very few high end office chairs have headrests (Aeron chair steelcase leap). They are all sold as add ons and i think having to support your head contributes to better posture. Having said that i think the office comfort would work, what is your guys' opinion on the general quality of maxnomic chairs? Also do you know what kind of chair Luke has? I know he is on the taller side and i think his input would be nice.

Did you pick out a chair yet?  6'5" 210 lbs myself and looking at the Office-Comfort Leader or the XL-Series Titanus.  Don't want to sit in a chair that I feel lost in but comfort is key to productivity.
