Been up/down over 200X in the last 2yrs in my LW. Average out the extra $100 I spent for it....over the times I'll use it......and tell me if you think it's worth it, or not.
To me, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. I'm the only one writing checks.
If you don't climb much....there are more comfortable options. But, they come at their own costs (weight; ease of packing; noise; etc...).
If I only walked a couple hundred yards and only climbed 10-20X season (or less)....I probably would've stuck with my old climber.
