Default Climbing Tree Stands

Ok, I know this gets beat to death here, but I gotta ask what people hunt out of as far as climbers. I have a Summit-3 or 4 years old-I want to sayit's a Viper or Cobra-cables and sling seat, but open front (ie no bar)if that helps. Hang ons are not an option for me, and it's not unusual for me to hike a mile or two to a hunting spot. From a packability and weight perspective, Lone Wolfhand climber seems tempting, but the thought of sitting in that thingfor the duration of a November rut day is not that appealing. I've also looked at the Summit Backpacker andOpen Shot-what do you guys think of these? my hesitancy is that they're not much different than what I've got. Also, does anyone else have any other ideas? I'm open to suggestions.

Basically my criteria is a climber with easy in packability, low weight, and comfort in that order.

Thanks is advance guys.
