I got my dx racer king on a black Friday deal for a couple hundred dollars off. It had the wider bottom so I can sit on my leg in the least ergonomic way possible and has a lumbar cushion I can move where I want. I’ve had it for probably 5 years now and it looks brand new having carried my ass for thousands of hours. My only complaint is the arm rests are not comfortable being done hard rubber with no padding. Full price, there are certainly better options, but it has been without a doubt a great chair and I expect another 5+ years out of it. They aren’t bad chairs, they just aren’t for everyone. I tend to enjoy the flairs in the sides around my shoulders and the aesthetics don’t matter to me, so if someone else doesn’t like it, I suppose that’s on them. I’m not looking to impress anyone with the style of my chair.
