Well i have the open shot and i love it. I have pretty much hunted out of it every time this year and (not bragging) but i havce hunted alot this year. Its very light and easy to carry.
I have not had any trouble with the cables or straps getting stuck.
its VERY quite and i think easy to climb with.
Also its easy to pack up.

Like it takes me 15 minutes to leave the woods

Thats lowering my bow
unscrewing my hook
undoing my strap that holds me to the tree
unstarpping the top part of the stand from the tree
climbing down
packing up the stand
wind up my rope
get my stand on my back
grab my bow and start walking

now that might be a long time to do all that but i think 15 minutes is pretty good.

But i HIGHLY recomend the OPENSHOT!!!!!!!
