My vote is for the Summit Viper XLS, too. Used many stands over the last 30 years. Just got my Viper this year and it is a sweety. The SOP harness that comes with every Summit stands is still one of the best. This being a $40 item, subtract that from the price of the stand and you get the actual price of the stand- compared with others. Some stands use cheaper harnesses and some offer "fall restraint systems". That means they give you a very dangerous "safety belt" that will kill you almost as quick as a fall to the ground, should it ever happen. API stands are now made in China and offereed only by Bass Pro and Cabela. Just thought I'd mention it.
