On this site, you' ll find the Summit line and the Ol' man line mentioned more than not....all the studies I' ve seen, Ol' man beat Summit but they are both great stands....I' ve tried both and I like the Ol' man line and after hunting with Matt/PA and watching and listening to his Summit, no offense, I again prefer the Ol' man...quicker, quieter, easier to pack and use. That' s my educated opinion.
