I bought a summit cobra xls (aluminum) at dicks for an unbeatble price a month ago and i am loving it. its an open front, which was strange at first, but this year i am actually wearing my safety harness (included in box) as opposed to last year, when i figured the bar on my old junky stand was good enough. THe Cobra XLS is only 17 lbs or so and the most comfortable stand i have been in and quiet as ever. i HIGHLY recommend the cobra xls if its in your weight range.
