arronsnodgrass, I' ve never used the cabelas trophylite bowhunter, just saw them in cabelas catalog, but the cable system looks similar to summits, so it should hook up fairly easy. warren and sweat used to build the trophylite stands for cabelas, but now they are imported. somethin to think about also.
I personally have a summit cobra xl, and beleive summit is the best stand on the market.

You could take a look at the NorthStarr lineup at www.freddiebearsports.com. Here again, it' s a little more than $150 but it' s a nice stand at about 16lbs. Solid as a brick and pretty quick setup time---about 5 minutes. It' s about as good as it gets for the money.

Just looked it up and Feddie gets $179 for the Climbing Starr. I had to see if the price changed.

Yikes! it takes about 10 seconds a section to hook up the summit cobra!
well, the whole set-up time is probly more like 60 seconds.

If you could some how scrape up a little more cash ($200-$250) and get a Summit, you would be pleased for a long time.......I love my Summit Viper.
