Chair recommendations for chronic lower back pain? Sitting 9 hours a day is killing me

Lower back has been wrecked for a year. WFH 9 hours a day, early 30s, feeling 80 by 5pm. Already tried a lumbar pillow and a cheap Amazon ergonomic chair — both useless. Ready to actually invest. Few questions: Is the Herman Miller Aeron worth it specifically for back pain? Steelcase Leap V2 — better lumbar support than the Aeron? Are gaming chairs (Titan Evo, etc.) legit for back issues or just marketing? Anything solid in the $400-700 range or do I need to spend $1,000+? For anyone who upgraded to a high-end chair — how long before you actually felt the difference? Rather spend $1,200 once than keep cycling through junk. Any honest long-term experiences appreciated.
