I also had a Lone Wolf Sit and Climb and I ordered a Equalizer that will be here tomorrow. My reasons were the leveling feature. I really liked the LW, and the reason I got it was I think I have a little arthur in my right hip and I could not climb with my old Summit. I can climb with no pain in the LW, it's comfort is OK for sitting but I stand about 50% of the time. The Equalizer and LW put your feet closer to the tree for climbing and that made a big difference in my hip pain. But there were a couple of times on new trees that my platform was not level and that is why I am making the switch. Not knocking the LW, it is a top qualilty stand.
