It's very modern and beautiful, and I'm sure very well made, but I wouldn't want to be without the adjustability of my recliner, especially the adjustable power headrest. Before my current recliner, I had one like this (not nearly as high quality) with the separate footrest and it was nice, but once I got used to the adjustability of a good power recliner I was hooked.
In addition to that, the round wooden base of the old one was always moving and had to be moved back into position every day. It's also nice to be rid of the large footrest. Now when I'm not using it it's not in the way.
