I was at my local Palliser dealer today and really like their styles compare to Berkline but they are pricier. Looking online I saw a new model called Pacifico on the TheaterSeatStore (http://www.theaterseatstore.com/Palliser-Pacifico?sc=14&category=203) website. The price is really good and they include power recline.
Has anybody here ordered these? Any feedback?
Thanks.

Havent heard of those, but we're planning to order a loveseat with console (two cupholders & a cubby to stash the remotes in) in the center rather than the theatre seats. I'm fond of the look of their "Taurus" line. Palliser in general has a reputation around here for being of excellent quality.

Iam 5.11 / 260Lbs - I like everything about Pacifico till i saw that the seat width is 23 Inches (Compared against Berkline having 25 Inches). Do any of the pacifico owners think that would be an issue?

Wow was I just in the same boat as you last week. I was going crazy trying to figure out what I wanted for seats. I covered well over 300 miles while on vacation going to different stores and trying out different seats. Let me share some stuff I learned.
I was torn between Berkline and Palliser. Sat in both brands several different models. I like the Palliser a bit more because it seemed firmer. Also they use hardwoods instead of plywood. A big important factor for me of course was price and quality. I like everything I saw in the pallisers and felt the berklines were a bit cheaper in quality. Also in the interest of not starting an argument the difference in quality between the two is very minor. I prefer Palliser. I also came across the Pacifico and based on speaking with home theater seat store I decided to make the plunge without being able to but test that model.
I received them this past Fri and I got them set up today. They are firmer for sure. I like them know they will break in after a bit because it is my daily chair. Also my friend who helped me move them upstairs really liked them. Also for the sake of the width question he is 5"11 310 pounds and he had no problem fitting in the seat. I know he wears a 5-6xl shirt so he is a big fella.
They do have the power recline but let me offer a warning and the only issue I have found with these seats. On one chair they did a bad job of routing the motor wire. So I reclined the chair and severed the wire. After several choice swear words I crawled around under it and found the wire pinched in the mechanism. I am very handy electronically so I spliced the wires back together so I can still use the seat. I will call tomorrow to see if they will send me out a replacement switch and save the hassle of a service call. Regardless it is working great now. If there are any other questions hit me up. I know it is hard to find much info on these seats because they are newer and not many people have them. I know I looked hard for it. Took me 6 days to get them to So Cal from CO. Ordered Fri morning they wanted to deliver Thur but I was working so took delivery on Fri.
I'm very interested in the Palliser Pacifico model. I like the style and the narrower width means we can fit 4 seats in 120" using the center love seat configuration. We need to be able to try them before ordering though to make sure they are comfortable for my family (we've tested several that were not). Is there anywhere in NJ that has these models on display?

Same here - except in Houston, TX.
Also, will this be that shiny (wet look) leather?

I ended up buying 4 Pacificos in black. The leather is not at all shiny and the Pacificos have the upgraded "2000" grade leather rather than the base 1000 grade. The leather is very nice. So far I am very impressed with the seats.
