5 pounds on a 1/2 mile hike should not be an issue.

May be a little excessive is in order ?

The comfort,stability and set up of the Summit should be the deciding factor.

I am not bashing you but humping ANY stand is a chore.

Something I do to help get in shape is, I take my stand with me when I am doing my scouting.

A bit of a PIA but it helps me get in shape.

As I get older I worry more about dragging a 140lb deer OUT a lot more than dragging a stand in.

I spent a lot of time changing the straps and such to make the stand easier and more comfortable to tote.

Getting the fit right makes a huge difference on carrying any pack or stand long distance.

Good luck which ever one you end up with.
