Has anyone heard good or bad things about the new Sayl chair from Herman Miller? Supposedly it's shipping soon ("early 2011") and the price is a bit easier to stomach than the Aeron or Embody.

http://www.hermanmiller.com/Products/SAYL-Chairs starts at $399 new, movable whatsits add some to the cost. I've been looking for local deals on good chairs for a little while and haven't had much luck, if I want to get something soon it'll probably end up being full price, not sure if the Sayl is worth a second look.
My mom recently bought an Embody and surprisingly sitting in a chair for hours doesn't make me feel tired like usual. I still have an Office Depot chair from high school so I was also looking at the Sayl since the price is a lot better. Looks like it's too new for reviews online though, I'll have to find a store to try it out myself. I love the idea of modeling it after the Golden Gate Bridge, it's so appealing since I live in SF :)

I went to Room&Board this weekend to try out all the Herman Miller chairs, and really liked the new Sayl chair. It's the cheapest HM chair which is great, and I preferred its stiff support over some of the others. (Well, I liked the Embody too but this one is <500.) The store didn't have the colors I wanted so I placed my order from Herman Miller online.

Now just waiting 5/17...

I've had the Herman Miller SAYL chair for a month and like it a lot so far. I prefer a slightly stiffer chair to a cushy chair, and I think the SAYL is perfect (also cheap). I'm also very short though so I'm not sure how giant goons will fit in it.
