For me it was a tossup between the Herman Miller Aeron ($450 refurb) and Steelcase Leap 2 ($250 refurb).
I picked the Leap 2 and never looked back. Fabric seats, more adjustability, very sturdy and cheaper refurb prices (I think at full price it's similar to the Aeron).
The Aeron has that coolness factor which the Leap 2 doesn't (Leap 2 looks very conventional) but it has been a sturdy chair throughout the pandemic to now.
