Are High-End Office chairs worth it?

[Daseark]

On Ebay, I found a fairly cheaper than normal steelcase leap v1 for around £200. Trying to find an comfortable chair at this time, I got interested.
I was thinking, is the ergonomics and comfortability of it worth the price, or should i just get a simple leather chair that costs around £50 like this one:

I would like to know why a simple steelcase leap chair can be so much popular than a cheap leather office chair.
P.S - I am 5"6, on weekdays normally on for 6 - 7 hours with some rests, and weekdends normally for almost the whole day. Do stuff like gaming and homeworks.
Thanks

I'm not sure about everyone else, but I could never justify spending any more than £100 on a chair. That chair looks very good, judging by the reviews, in fact I was thinking of grabbing one for myself. If I were you, I would go for the one that you have found on amazon and save yourself a lot of money.

Yeah I was thinking that.
Currently, I'm looking for answers on the difference the ergonomics are between normal chairs like that and the steelcase leap v1, but i will most likely get that simple leather chair if i dont get answered. ^_^
I'm also slightly worried about the durability of the cheap chairs. As there are no obvious reviews from critics, its hard to know how long the leather chair can last 🙁

More response will be appreciated!
