I have a Summit Viper, I like it a lot. I really have never heard any complaints from people about Summit stands. It is kind of heavy, 20 or 21 pounds, but that just means it is solid construction to me. I hunt public land so I hump the stand in with me everytime I go bowhunting, you get over it after a while. I am 5'10" and around 180 pounds, I lift weights regularly and think of myself as a larger person, but I could be wrong, anyways if I was much larger I think I would want to step up to the Goliath which is the same size stand for the most part but with a bigger seat I think or the Titan, which is a larger stand all around.
