Thanks.

Either one should do fine for you. Also consider one of the similarly priced Summit stands from Cabelas or other stores.

I personally prefer the Summit stands because the mechanism to lock your feet in to climb is much simpler (and more reliable).

Weight may not seem like a big deal, it is when you're dragging a
deer out behind you and carrying your stand (and bow). Also, sometimes in the morning the extra weight can add to the speed at which you start to sweat.

Just a thought.
