It's such an amazing chair, and the customer service is literally the best I've ever experienced. The chair, bought through Amazon, came with a really important piece missing, they simply shipped out a new part. Free. Over a year later, the seat started had a slightly shift to it, they shipped me a new one, no questions asked. All free.
I bought 2 of these things and would buy a 5th.
I was in your boat a few months ago and was set on a dxracer. After a lot of research and looking into it I went with this Lorell office chair. I'm very happy with it.
Honestly, your best bet is to go to a store that sells chairs and try them out. You should be able to tell which ones are sturdy enough for you, plus it'll be a lot easier to figure out what's comfortable.
I spend a lot of time in various conference rooms for work, and I was very pleased with this chair: http://www.amazon.com/Lorell-High-Back-Swivel-Chair-x28-1/dp/B0074GX2YE
I don't know how durable it is though because the place that had them had just bought them a few months prior.
Yeah i understand where you're coming from :P When i was contemplating buying it i just fuck it and it was worth every penny.
Anyways, my friend has this chair and i think it's really good for the price, and I've heard good things about it. If you're interested . http://www.amazon.com/Lorell-High-Back-Swivel-Chair-x28-1/dp/B0074GX2YE

If you can't find a Herman Miller Aeron 2nd hand I would recommend this Lorell executive chair from Amazon with the extra headrest. I did a ton of research on best bang for the buck chairs at the beginning of med school and after looking through tons of reviews, this one seemed to have the most people who were satisfied years after purchase while fitting within my sub-200 budget.
I've sat it in everyday studying for >8 hours for almost 2 years now and it's still as comfortable as day 1. The seat and arm cushions haven't worn down at all. The headrest is super comfortable. The adjustments are solid. Obviously this is no Herman Miller Aeron but if you don't want to go 2nd hand, I think this is a fantastic option.

I ride a Herman Miller Aeron at work, and nothing else really compares. But fuck me if I'm gonna spend $500+ on chairs for the house ... I've found Lorell Executives to be an excellent value and a great chair (adjustable, super ergonomic, good size) for long hours on the computer. I'm a big guy and wreck lesser chairs (every Ikea and Office Depot/Max chair ever)in a matter of months but the Aeron and Lorell chair have held up.
Quicker adjusting version
ETA: I'm reading a lot of comments that are recommending Costco chairs, I have to recommend against them. I've personally thrown 3 out from wearing out the cushions and arms.
