RE: Summit vs API?
I have used the Summit Bushmaster, API Grand Slam Supreme, Lone Wolf Alpha Sit & Climb and my current climber is the Summit Viper XLS. The API was a great stand but it was much harder to set up than the Summit or the Lone Wolf for that matter. The current API stands do not appear to be of the same quality as their older stands and they have reportedly went bankrupt. Once API sold out to Outland Sports, it was downhill from then on.
