I have not used or actually seen any of the new stands in person. going just by the pictures though it would appear that the stands once setup will be every bit as comfortable and stable as there other stands. It may take a bit longer to setup compared to the already fast viper/cobra/bushmaster stands, but I don' t think it will be that much of a problem and lord knows if you have to carry the stand for any distance the folding flat feature would be worth it' s weight in gold!
