What is the best climbing stand for the money?

Summit stand are really not all that expensive when compared to something like a lone wolf. I have had the same summit bushmaster for the last 9 years. It was $200 dollars back when i bought it. It still runs about the same price if you get the original not the outfitter. Or they often go on sale at the end of the season. Treestands for me are not something to skimp on seeing as they hold your life on their platforms. What is your budget?

Have two Summits...there is no price tag on safety...and here are some other feathers..
Light
Quiet
quick set up..
comfortable
I sit all day in mine...my drive is too far for a 1/2 day hunt...180 miles
I've got the Bullet Backpacker..folds up to about 5 inches.
They made it for one year..they are kind of hard to find.
here's one for 289.00

My API cost me 230.00 and I love it with the foot rest and a seat and backrest you can do an all day sit in and be very comfortable. It is going on it's 3rd. year and still looks new. I have not heard anything bad about the Summit stands nor mine for that matter,if I get another one it may be a summit due to the fact that mine is a little heavier because of the chains they use to grip the tree. I think the Summits use a cable if I remember right.
