is that your price point, or are you looking at those chairs because of the fit/size?
if they're all good chairs with good adjustability and all made by reputable companies.
if you just want a chair that fits and is cheaper, take a look at the office master zesta ZA94. the arms are extra, but it's a very solid task chair and made for larger (taller) frames. I'm 6'0" and it's fine, but I've also put people up to 6'5" in them and they love it. very reasonable, too at about $500 (I'm guessing retail's about there) with the arms.
best bet, though is to sit in all of the chairs you're considering and see for yourself. not sure where you are, but if you're in the bay area, I can point you to some retail showrooms that have most of these chairs and knowledgable sales staff.
