Any input on thebest task chair for your money? I want to hear from those that actually own/use the chair.

Also, where's the best/cheapest place to buy one?

Check E-bay. Also, I know several people who went to auctions to buy them during the dot-com bust. Businesses are still going out and selling their used office equipment.

If you want to buy new:

Here some negative criticism about the chair too. (First time I have heard complaints other than the price):

the leapchair. I really really like it. I got it cheap from a used office furniture place, looks brand new still, I payed $300.

I used the aeron in my old job, and I personally did not like it, the mesh feels nice from the moment you sit it, but for long rides just does not have the support, besides the frame under my legs would mess up my circulation.
