I started using the Summit Viper a couple years ago and it was the best money I've ever spent for hunting. I am like you. I have over 40 stands setup over 3 different pieces of property. You can't have too many options of stand locations IMO. That being said, I find myself using my climber 75% of the time[:-]. I wish I convinced myself to use one a LONG time ago. Would have saved a lot of money on hangons and ladder stands. It is a little more of a pain in the butt setting up and packing everyday, but well worth it. The only time I find myself using my ladder stands or hangons is when I'm pressed for time and have to get up in a tree fast or I want to sit in some that are "old faithfuls" and the conditions are perfect.
