Go for it! I find that they all have their purposes and uses. I have ladder stands, hang ons, climbers, etc. Check out the Gorilla stands, very comfy. One of the most important thing for me is platform size, most have small platforms making it hard to move around on them. You don't have to hunt 30' to be productive in a hang on, I have some as low as 10' and as high as 30'. Good luck.
