Hi, OregunHuntr.

I currently own a Tree Lounge and today I just purchased a Summit Goliath. I believe that the Tree Lounge is the most comfortable stand period. You can stay in this stand for 24 hours if need be. However, what I didn't like about it is: 1) the extent of set-up required, 2) the noise involved during set-up and 3) the difficulty and effort I experience during climbing, and 4) the changeover from climbing to sitting.

I hope my Summit solves the issues above, but it will never be as comfortable as the Tree Lounge. I should state that I am 260 pounds and with winter clothing and rubber boots, the changeover from climbing to sitting was significant for me.

I will not sell my tree lounge until I evaluate my satisfaction with the Summit Goliath. If you are interested, see my response to SmokPole re: which climbing stand should I buy.

Regards and Best of Luck !
