I still recommend spending the $2k. If you're in this for a lifetime, $2k every decade or so is nothing.
But my experience since that last post has suggested that a lot of ergonomics is about overall health. The guy who advocates moderate weightlifting as the solution is probably on to something. When I'm healthy and well-rested and getting even moderate exercise, I can get away with breaking my own ergonomic rules... by, say, using a laptop for more than fifteen seconds at a time.
You can't actually do nothing but sit and type for 14 hours per day, every day, for the rest of your life. All the better reason to make your keyboard hours count. ;)
