Well, like I mentioned I have the old model tree lounge and do like how comfortable it is, and with a little patience and practice it can be used quietly, but it weighs in at 35lbs, just a little to heavy for my taste. the Lone wolf I picked because of the packability(it folds flat), weight, and lack of knobs, wingnuts, bolts, etc. But I guess what it comes down to is you just don' t know if your going to like it until you use one.
