I primarily use 15 ft ladder stands, so I'm not up very high. This is due to a hang on stand failure and resultant terror that followed a few years ago. I do not believe height is as important as background cover on a given tree. Your height should be determined by the tree. Some trees require very high stands, which result in difficult angle shots, others do not. Be concealed, play the wind, stay scent free and don't worry about a specific height in a tree, in my opinion.
