I'm with Jeff on this for the most part. I love EVERYTHING about climbers over hang-ons except for two things:

Entry/Exit Quiteness
Having to remove the climber after every hunt


I only ever hunted exclusively out of climbers until this season. I don't want to be bothered with hiking in and out with the climber on my back after every hunt, and I fear leaving the stand at the base of the tree over time will simply alert deer, and leave unecessary scent.

I went to hang on stands this year (and kept my API climber for spur of the moment changes), and I HATED putting them up. I could probably get them up much quicker with a lineman's belt, but it still took much more effort and time. I'm simply hoping that the fact they will allow me to sneak in and up the tree and out of the tree much quieted will outweight the negatives.
