RE: New Stands for 09'
I like the idea of those stands with the brackets, but I'd still use an extra ratchet strap or two once it was in the bracket. I'm not a huge fan of heights and a paranoid pete when it comes to stand safety. My buddy makes fun of me because I use my lineman's belt when I'm 8 feet off the ground.
Both the Chippewaw and Millennium stands offer some nice flexiblity and look to be comfortable.
