Helm Chair replacement-can you share your experience?

I am looking to add two new helm chairs to the flybridge of my 42 Ocean Alexander sedan. I am interested in the Llebroc and the Springfield lines of chairs and associated price range. The range of pricing starts at $800 and goes up to $1600 for the chairs ( the pedestal pricing is not included).I am not looking at chairs that cost more than $1600.

Where I need some advice is sorting through the various differences/advantages/features/material options. If you've got an opinion on these two manufacturers and the best product for the money, could you give me your opinion? FYI, I have been looking at Springfield Mariner, Navigator 2, Chartsman, etc, and Llebroc Series 1 and 2, leather vs. vinyl, etc.

Thanks for sharing your experience!

I am adding the Todd 5 star helm chair to my list as well. Anyone have an opinion on any of these chairs for a fly bridge? Thanks!

Thanks Chris! Your advice to stay within one manufacturer for all helm chair components is sound advice. I will take full advantage of your experience in this area. Cheers.

motoryachtlover, Thanks for the thumbs-up on Llebroc! That's helpful in making my decision.
