I'd have to agree with you on every point, including the one on comfort. If you think the sit and climb isn't comfortable, try the hand climber.
I figure I'm not out there to be in total comfort, though, so the other advantages of my Lone Wolf outweigh the comfort issue for 3-hour hunts (light weight, quiet, secure). It's so quiet that I've had guys set up near me (50 yards once), and I've gotten down out of my tree with my Lone Wolf, and he never knew I was there!
