So the title is a bit vague; allow me to flesh it out.

I am trying to decide between 3 gaming chairs.

DX Racer King Series
Noblechairs Epic (the PU leather one)
Vertagear PL6000

I am a tall guy (6'5"/1.95m), and around 115KG.

Price is not the deciding factor between them. I am interested in personal experiences, quality issues and general durability.

If anyone can provide their 2c I would appreciate it.
 
Don't have experience with those chairs, but good on you for wanting to get a good quality chair.

If you want my 2c: I have the Humanscale Liberty Task chair and it's well worth the price. It's the most comfortable chair I've ever sat on, and if I ever get back pain doing something else, or from my sofa, a few minutes sitting on this chair actually makes me feel better.

It uses your own bodyweight to determine tension for the back rest so it's pretty much perfectly adjusted every time.

The official distributor for Humanscale in SA sells direct to public and it's a bit cheaper than importing. Also comes with very impressive guarantee. 25 years on some parts, 10 and 5 for others. They can come through and service your chair or replace parts as needed during that period if you ask.

Go to the shops, and sit in every one of them. Your body will tell you which one to choose.

For me personally, the Noblechair Epic in leather was far better than any of the others, then again, I am well within the maximum weight spec (120kg). You can also try the Noblechair Icon (max weight spec is 150kg).
 
Its important that it should be able to lean back 180°

Seriously though.. don`t pay more for something because it has "gaming" in the description, especially if it is something that has nothing to do with gaming.
Go to a place that sells chairs and try them out, just avoid game`s chairs... they`re made of crap.

It's one of those rare occasions where you use your butt in making a purchasing decision :)

We use Humanscale at the work. I'm talking about 1500+ odd. The failure rate on the arm rests is surprisingly high but all resolved under warranty. Very comfortable otherwise.
