I just picked up a cobra xls and couldn't be happier. Granted I haven't gotten any real woods experience with it yet, but shooting out of it in the back yard from any angle is comfortable.

I did have a problem with my BigShot stand that has a bar around it, but found that if i move the platform up a bit, my UL31 has no problem clearing it on any angle. That does however make it more difficult to stand up and creates a bit more movement, but you got to be sly about it, that's all.

Both are great stands. You will be happy with either one. Good luck.
