Well I've been looking at chairs like that for *years* and still yet to pull
the trigger on it due to the cost (me just being inherently cheap and
chringing that spending that much on a chair), but if you're looking at an
Aeron you should also look at Steelcase Leap or Humanscale Freedom chairs
too. I think the Leap is the best of those, but there might be newer ones
since then that might be as good or better, though you're still looking at
$700-$1000 for one of those with all the options (like getting the neckrest
for the Leap since I need the neck support).
Just google for comparisons of those chairs and you'll find out the latest-I
haven't looked in years so there might be newer info available that way...

The Aeron chairs are indeed expensive, but you should only have to buy one.
They are comfortable and don't break down over time.
You could also look at the Knoll Chadwick chairs. They are also a mesh
design, are comfortable, and have good longevity. They're not cheap, but
usually not as high as the Aeron. This is the chair my work uses.
If your wife has already approved the Aeron, you'd be a fool not to just do
that. :)
