Steelcase Leap V2 review

The original poster is transitioning to a cheap office chair that has been causing significant back and shoulder issues after long work sessions. They're looking for a major upgrade in the $300-600 range and are considering several models including the Steelcase Leap V2, but are primarily asking for recommendations. They mention owning a Staples Hyken mesh chair and a refurbished model around $200-$500. They're seeking advice about brands, with particular interest in options for taller people who have saved about 30 years. They want to know which chair would be best for someone working 8-10 hours daily and are weighing aesthetic preferences for charging previous models of buying a perfect premium chair at a warehouse sale. The post indicates they need relief from their current setup's toll on their back and shoulders.
