It's the only treestand I'll ever use! I have a LW sit and climb (14.5lbs) and the Assault hang-on, that only weighs 8.5lbs! The sit and climb is very quiet, very stable & secure, and very well costructed. I will say it's not the most comfy stand for all day sits, so I add my own little cushion (I have one of the older ones). LW stands are NOT cheap, but you usually get what you pay for!
