thanx alot guys....thats the stand ill go with...i can get the Classic for about 140, or the SS for about 240....i dont know if the 100$ is worth the sumit skin and the minus 5lbs though. i gota dig a little deeper and see if theres any ther diffrences...that 5lbs shouldnt bother me..though i do hunt about a mile deep in a few spots...have to think about it and do a little digging and decide

thank you all for the opinions and advice. hmmm thinking about it..i have a buddy that works at dick's sporting goods and they have both the classic and SS....maybe i can get a better deal.....
