Is the foot rest of definite plus or not on the stands? I was going to buy a Viper x5, but I noticed that the x4's come standard with a foot rest. I've emailed them and the only difference between the x4's and the new x5's are a different camo pattern and no foot rest on the x5's. They said that alum has gone up a lot and they took off the foot rest to keep cost down for the consumer. I can't fault them one bit. But I'm just wondering if the foot rest is a really good option? You can buy the foot rest for the x5's, but they are like $30.

Thanks
