I got mine (and one for my wife) on eBay for about the price of the Leap. Mine’s a C with adjustable lumbar support and arms. Sam’s is a B with adjustable lumbar but fixed arms. I had to wait a bit for them to come up, but it only took a week or so.

I went and tried out a Steelcase Leap yesterday (showroom in Auckland is only open M-F). Felt plasticy to me and cheap and even though it does have a lot of good options. If I do pull the trigger it's going to be for the Aeron. I have a feeling it's also because I'm on the larger side and so will prob go with the 'C' option as well. Price wise was $745 for the Leap and $1500+ for the Aeron. Looking at the options it can get up to $3000 for the Aeron if you bling it out with all the swanky extras.

Re: [OT] Chairs for home office
I tried one of these in the store recently and yeah it was good. Also tried http://www.hermanmiller.com/products/seating/performance-work-chairs/sayl-chairs.html which looks awesome but made me think I might break it! I've been tempted by the standup desk a few times but generally try and get 5 mins of walking an hour or so.
