I believe that Bradington Young is the best bang for the buck recliner out there. They do their motion furniture very well and though its a plywood frame, they are solid. Only a few of theirs will meet your price target in leather - most are in the $ 1,500 to $ 1,800 range.
Good luck in your search.
