Adding a captain's chair to lower helm - ideas?

Ours came with a fixed pedestal thru-bolted through the sole and a todd chair with arms and cushions. Very comfortable.

This pretty much looks identical to the chair we have at our lower helm and then just a standard base which I think run around $50-75:

The chair is surprisingly comfortable despite the low cost. *The time spent trying to put together a custom set up may not save that much money than getting a basic chair like the one that was put in our boat by the PO. *

Here is a pic of our set up:
