Default Stand for big guys?

Looking at other stand threads on here got me to thinking.........

Im a big guy, 6'2 300lbs....not too concerned with weight capacity, my New Years Resolution is to get back to where I was before I went to college 5 years ago (or there abouts lol)...tired of being tired, and going to lose it if it's the death of me....Id rather die trying than not....anyway thats another issue I wont bother with.

Regardless, back then and now, I have trouble finding a comfortable stand. My arse is boney and belly buldging (for now, altho I dont expect to look 18 again lol) and legs long.

I know theres got to be some on here who have similar problems. Right now, I hunt out of a combination of climber (which is comfortable, but not bow friendly, mostly gun hunt it), couple of ladder stands, and a Gorilla King Kong (I think? largest model, plus a foot rest) and climbing sticks. Would like to add some more lock-ons to the arsenal, but want to spend my money in the right spot.

What do you big guys use? That being said, my first bow kill came when I was 17, and about 70lbs lighter, on the smallest $40 CHAIN on imaginable. Cant stand to sit more than 3 hours or so.
