Any other premium brands to look at for less? About $1500 per seat.

The Elite's are ridiculous. A friend got a quote for 1 seat of almost 5k. Get some really nice Berkline seats I suppose. That's what most around here do.

I second Berkline, that or win the lotto, that's my plan. Guess I need to buy a ticket?

Elite HTS have now introduced an entry level seat in manual recline for under $2k which brings them more into the mainstream. The seat is made offshore but has that great Elite look and feel.

I got 8 Berkline 088's w/ premium leather & auto recline for much, much less that your budget. Contact "Roman" on this forum.

La-Z-Boy here. Loving my seats. NO cupholders is fine by me.

Yeah, I went with the recliners as well. Everything else just wasn't in the budget for the size I needed.

oops
