I use a Millennium. You only need 1 stand, all you do it hang the bracket and steps...and when you go hunt, you just climb up and slide it in.

If you have a situation like you are talking about, its the ideal stand imo. Plus, its the most comfortable stand there is, and nobody can hunt your stands when you aren't there, and they can't steal it either cause you take it home with you. Check it out! I love mine...oh, and it has a big platfrom too. 38" I think, and around 14lbs.
