I too must speak highly of API (to date that is) my father owns several of their stands and I own one myself.. we have never had one minutes problem out of them and any time we have ever needed anything their customer service had been outstanding... with that being said I do understand that companies change so this is not to say that things have changed but I knwo at one time they were number 1 in my book..but maybe there will be a new number 1..lol I am gettign ready to order my Summit in a week or two!!
