I just bought the Summit MegaSampson ladder stand two days ago. I found a location for a more permanent stand, so I went with the Summit. Reasons, all-welded aluminumladder, so no RUST. I like theI- beam construction strong, I mean strong! I tried the stand in my yard yesterday, the thing was a rock. The seat was very comfortable, as wasthe back rest, very roomy. I like the 18 foot height, not too high, not too low. Lastly, I already have a Summit climber, so I know the quality.

Only down side is the price, but I won't go cheap on my safety.
