The 180 is pretty sweet, its a giant stand. The only concern, if you could call it that, would be climbing with that bar so far out there. I find it easier to climb with as little ass as possible on the bar, and the 180's bar being farther out, I think it may be a little tougher to climb, especially when getting started up the tree. If you want to use it as more of a hand climber, as opposed to a sit and climb, then I think you will be fine, but I am not nearly monkey-like enough for that. You may want to look at the new Titan, which is bigger than the goliath, and the platform of the Titan is the biggest there is with any climber out there. I am probably going to buy a titan platform for my goliath. My feet only hang over if I am stretching, otherwise there is plenty of room for them. I usually sit at like barstool height, in terms of distance between platform and base, and at that height, my feet are usually in the middle of the platform, but definetely a couply rungs from the end.
