What does 450/550N mean?
These numbers refer to the tilting mechanism of the ErgoDynamic. 

 
The N stands for Newton and corresponds with the level of resistance of the mechanism that causes the seat to tilt according to your weight shift. Heavier people need heavier mechanisms:

350N weight   < 110 lbs

450N weight   110 - 160 lbs

550N weight   160 - 240 lbs

650N weight   > 240 lbs (maximum 275 lbs, extra-wide seat)
