We're still looking for the perfect chair also. We've had the smallish bag ones - work fine but not lounge type chairs and we gave up putting them back in the bags. Tried the zero gravity lounger but it is big, bulky, heavy and usually has to ride in the toad (though throwing it on the bed if it is dry works also since it is one of the first things out of the rig). Now we have one of each but aren't totally happy with either. We don't do the sit at the table thing with them so comfort is more our plan.
I suggest you first narrow down your planned use.
Do you like to sit upright outside at a table (for eating or computer use or coffee or whatever)?
Do you boondock or camp in places that do not have picnic tables?
Do you like to lay back and stare up into the trees or read a book or watch the world go by?
Do you like to have somewhere to set your drink or snack without having a separate table?
Do you tow a vehicle that can carry oversize chairs?
Are you more comfortable in the wider camp chairs that they sell now?
Do you spend a LOT of time in the chairs? (if yes, worth spending more)
Do you like to visit with other campers where you will need to be able to tote that chair along?
Do you go to camp programs where you need to be able to carry the chair along?
And so on. First question - why do you need the chair? Then go from there.
We don't lounge in camp for long periods of time. If it is nice we are usually out exploring. If it is nasty, we are usually inside chilling. We do have a screen house for buggy areas (Acadia) but bought one without a floor so we can set it up over a picnic table. We do use our chairs a reasonable amount but not enough to warrant paying a huge amount for them (not that I've found the perfect one for any price... yet). Many, many days have gone by where we set the chairs out, ignore them, then pack them up again to move to the next spot. But that's our way of doing it so far.
