Josh, take a look at these www.treewalkerstands.com . They are a liitle over what you want to spend but well worth it. I got one a couple of weeks ago and love it. Their stands hook together, no straps needed to hold them together,no sound at all once they are together. They weigh 16lb, rated at 350lb, stick to a tree extremely well(they have bolts ground to a point for tree contact) I literally have to wiggle it out of the tree to get it loose. Very easy to climb with and the net seat is all day sit comfortable. The best thing is they are made in the good ol' U.S.A.
