I have not used the swift tree ladder, but everything else I have used by summit has been outstanding. I like ladders in general as they are easier and safer to setup. The swift tree system has some nice saftey features in the rounded coverd steps and 17' is at least 5 feet longer than most other ladder systems I have seen. I am betting if you like Summit products you will love the Swift tree as well. I know I find myself leaving all my other stands at home except for my Golitath climber, and the Copperhead XL hang on. Both stands are so comfortable I can sit for long periods of time without being uncomortable.
