I have wanted a stand as well and have been doing alot of checking into, and I think I am going to go with a Summit. I have 4 hang on stands and I am not sure that I like them because they are not as easy to move as a self climber. Plus I dont like being 18 feet in the air trying to secure it to a tree. I have never used a self climber but the stand up-sit down models look like the cats meow. I will let you know after this season.
