thanks alot for the input guys, ive heard a bunch of good about the API's, just want to make sure i dont hear anything too bad before buying it

the summits look nice and so do the treewalkers, but the api looks comfortable and quiet enough for me, i kinda just want something more quiet, comfy and versatile than my current ladder stand (gets the job done but not comfy at all and noisy since it stays out in the cold)

thanks alot again for the input!
