TreeWalker!!
Many guys here are selling their Summits and Lone Wolf stands to buy one after trying them. They have taken the Climbing treestand market by storm in this area.

Well,,, This guy will not be selling his Summit Goliath or his API Magnum,,,, Both of these stands are well built rock solid choices... I am 6'7" 320 lbs and with my gear in the tree I am certain the weight limits are severely tested...Fast quiet and easy set up in the dark,,No squeaks... No noise... No issues period.. The Summit I give the nod too as it is my newer stand.. It climbs trees in many states annually..and will be in a tree near you this fall
For my money ,, You can't beat these 2... Until they come out with one with a chemical toilet.. I could stay in the stand for days..LOL

Summit Titan here. I'm 6'5" and 215 lbs and it feels very safe and secure. It's got the largest platform of all the Summits and its very, very comfy.

RE: Considering a new climber, which one?
I've had my Summit Goilath for 4 seasons, hundreds of climbs with it, and it hasn't disappointed me yet. My wife runs a Viper, and she loves hers too. IMO, no other treestand is this comfortable nor as easy to set up. With them being all welded, there is nothing to rattle either when you are climbing or descending. NCRemington, who posted above, was sold on the Summit after I talked him in to it, we are both big dudes, unfortunately I outweigh him by 100+ pounds but my Summit still doesn't complain one bit.
As for the TreeSaddle, two of my friends used them and their balls were numb for days. The "all day hunting" people say you can do in them must be for someone either with a tiny member or just an itty bitty person.

I purchased the Lone wolf sit and climb last year after my Summit (which I purchased from GMMAT) got stolen and WOW what a stand I love it! I suggest you go to a shop that has a pole you can try them out and see what you like!

The first time I sat down in the Titan my butt said "ahhhhhh".
