I'm only 5'9" and last season I bought the Viper X4 and I love this stand ,I was going to hold out or the X5 to decide ,but now that I've heard this I'm certainly glad I got the X4 ,the footrest is very important for a guy of my size ,I usually can't sit much longer than 3 -4 hrs on stand ,but now that I can stretch out I can sit much longer . Glad I got the X4.
