I bought a Herman Miller Aeron for $500 from an office closing auction. Super worth it.

I have a Leap v1 from a surplus store, and a Mirra from when our company let the lease go on the building nobody went to anymore. Very much worth it on both fronts. A huge thing with "nicer" chairs is that they allow you to shift as you move throughout the day. A lot of people fixate on the "S" part of RSI and try to make sure everything is situated just so, but it's also important to work on the "R" and to move around, standing of course, but even just being able to move around and have multiple comfortable seating positions can be helpful.
