Sick of My DxRacer Chair - Herman Miller Next? Help!

[SillyKitty]

I've had one of the more expensive DxRacer chairs for two years now. Due to the nature of my work, I'm sitting in the chair for 16 hours a day. Not sure if I just wore down the chair from the extensive use or not, but it is extremely uncomfortable now to sit in during any sessions past 1 hour. I've always heard about the Herman Miller Embody chair, but never had the means until now to consider it. I wanted to ask you guys where I should direct my research towards and to see if any one else had first hand experiences with the Herman Miller chair or if it's just the equivalent of buying an Alienware computer. I'm 6'4'' and 180 lbs.

Why did you go with the aeron over the embody?

I got it for $100 used.

If you have the means, then you may as well go for the Embody. All the reviews of it have been glowing. I've use Aeron chairs and they're great. I miss my previous job where they had them everywhere. I think this DX racer popularity is mainly great advertising with self reinforcing fandom like Razer's fans. Strategically placed support/reviews ie free chairs for pro gamers and reviewers have built up a huge following, with pricing at half of an Aeron chair it's no wonder noone really suggests going with HM chairs, regardless of how well worth it HM chairs are.
