Going to pull the trigger on embody, fern, leap or something?

I'm 6'2, 280 lbs (actively lowering the weight), more torso than legs and a pretty big dude. My hips are roughly 18 inches.

It's tough researching between these chairs because the opinions are pretty divisive. It seems like the embody averages the most positive reviews for larger people? I see a lot of talk around the fern having a bad seat. The leap itself seems alright but seems to be really questionable as to whether it's good for tall people.

I did sit in a very old Herman Miller embody that came from rocket mortgage long ago. So it was definitely in rough shape but it wasn't bad.

Is embody the best choice here?
