with office chairs, big time!! I have not found a chair at Staples that was tolerable. They are all cheap junk imho...
You can't expect a $200 knockoff to be as good - they go for the look, but it's the quality + attention to detail that matters + that's what costs. A similar chair is the Life chair from Knoll. Really really nice chair. It might be a touch less expensive than the Herman Miller, but again not cheap! Probably both would be more cost effective if they were sold through big box chain stores, but such is life...
I needed cost effective at one point + found a decent Ikea chair ($300?) that is at least ergonomically good (better than what I could find at Staples), but great value does not necessarily make it great (after all, Ikea is Swedish for "Broken", though this particular chair has held up well).
Aside from the lack of some of the feature set of the Life or Aeron chairs, Brett Millar's Saab chair is brilliant and when the 1989 winter beater finally kicks the bucket (a decade from now??) I will be making a couple of those chairs (and maybe a couch from the back seat?)... saab seats are awesome!
