Leap V2 wins for adjustable fit across different body types (seat depth + lumbar firmness adjustments); Aeron wins for breathability and the classic Pellicle mesh feel. Both carry 12-year warranties. Price is comparable new ($1,100-1,800), so fit should decide.
The Aeron's fixed sizing (A/B/C) means correct size selection matters more than any adjustment.
The Leap's LiveBack changes shape with your spine; its seat-depth slider suits taller or shorter users that Aerons lock out.
Mesh vs foam-and-fabric is a climate preference: hot rooms favor Aeron.
Both hold resale value unusually well, softening total cost of ownership.
