I'm cheap and won't spend multiple thousands on a chair I use a couple hours a week (dedicated room), sometimes zero hours a week.
The Ikea Poang works for me. A lot more comfortable than it should be for $150...
Having said that, the Ekornes would be my choice if I did.
I just had my 15-year old Lazy Boy re-upholstered in a nice neutral leather. I use it every evening, so it was worth the $ vs anything new. Quality has gone down on furniture over the last 40-50 years. Just like everything else. Prices are also insane.
