I went on a high-end chair shopping adventure years ago and I can't remember if I tried this exact chair, but I tried all Steelcase, HM, Humanscale, Knoll, etc, and Steelcase were by far the least comfortable and least impressive looking out of all the brands I tried.
You can see some folks have the same opinion in the reviews on Amazon, but obviously some people really like these chairsāso to each his own. Just my two cents.

Leave the msrp for the companies, you can find any of these top tiep chairs for more than half the price. I ended up selling mines for more than I paid and bought a 2nd hand Embody for 400.
1) I initially bought it without a headrest and I ended up returning it (at Steelcase's expense, chair was built + drop shipped by authorized dealer. I consider the chair unusable in any amount of recline without a headrest. With the headrest I can spend hours watching Netflix or long eLearnings at work in recline comfortably.
2) At least with the authorized dealers, if you contact a seller it shouldn't be hard to get 14-15% off list without any arduous bartering.
3) The seat base (pan) is harder than some other office chairs. It's designed to support postures like one or both feet on the chair/one or both legs cross legged. As I alternate seating postures, I feel this is a plus; others have mentioned that they find it too firm.
4) I had a warranty issue with the headrest chair but Steelcase handled it very professionally.
I don't regret my purchase one bit and can readily recommend the chair, but I wouldn't recommend getting it without a headrest.

The downside is that the seat is a bit stiff. After a few years of settling, it became unbearable. I'd suggest a seat pad like this. After that it's been great.

Edit: Also, you went shopping, but you didn't test these things for at least a couple months. Ergonomic chairs tend to seem uncomfortable at first, but people have garbage posture and don't actually know what's good for them without long-term experience with a good chair.
