That is true the Margin for error can be higher in a stand and it well allow you to see further in most cases. When bow hunting most see it as being better for shot opportunities, due being out of the small twigs area. I on the other hand find when I am in tree I get almost lazy and feel stuck. I hate setting up, with all the racket hang ons make. I can' t use climbers in most of my area due to smooth barked trees and small diam. to boot. Wind change is almost gauranteed while hunting in sept and oct here, so one minute perfect, next minute no so. It really depends on your situation I think and maybe even confidence level. I use to mostly bow hunt from a tree stand and now I don' t hardly do so. Also pressure, where I hunt it is rare to ever see (other than my buddies) bowhunting the same area. So the deer seem to behave much like non pressured summer patterns, at least in early part of the season.

I won' t say that a treestand isn' t nice, just seem to be more of a ground hunter in most cases now.
