I have not had any squeks out of these either. They are a little heavy at 20 lbs. The Millenium is more comfortable for sitting no doubt, but you could get a couple of these Rivers Edge Stands for the same price.
I'll look into the stands that you mention. Are they all day comfortable? Thats one of the reasons that I was looking at the millennium, for all day hunts. And you can buy the receiver to put on another tree for $24.95. At 14 pounds and only a couple on minutes to slide the stand into receiver, that was impressive. Currently i use my summit razor or my equalizer with my summit seat (awesome combo) for all day hunts. But, in south louisiana, October is HOT!! the less climbing and carrying a stand I can do, the better.
