What am I doing wrong on lat pulldowns?

With seated rows and chest supported rows I can clearly feel my back working, but with lat pulldowns my arms always tire first and I never feel much lat engagement.

I've tried lowering the weight, slowing down the eccentric, and focusing on scapular depression, but it still feels a bit off. How should I adjust?

Looking for a bigger chair

I'm 6'4", around 260 lbs, and most of the nicer ergonomic chairs I've tried all feel too small.

I know I'm big, but I don't think I'm as huge as these chairs make me feel lol.

I tried the Embody and its back dug into my shoulders, so I sold it to my friend.

I tried the Aeron too but never bought it because the recline just wasn't that comfortable.

I like the armrests on the Gesture, but still feels too small for me.

The annoying part is that none of them are rally bad chairs, just don't fit me well enough to justify the price tage. I've looked at "big" chairs and a lot of them feel lacking in the feature department.

Libernovo's Maxis looks like it's doing a lot of things right, but there's nowhere for me to try it yet. Is anyone else struggling to find a chair that fits them? Any recommendations?
