Has anyone tried teh new Ol' man titanium/carbon tree stand? How does it stack up against the Summits?

I have the Ol' man Original and the Ol' man Grand but not in the new Tit./Carbon so mine are slightly heavier, even still I feel the Ol' man line is superior to the Summit line.... and yes, I tried them but that' s my opinion along with about a dozen friends who purchased one after using mine....The Summit line is very, very popular with the members here as well so you won' t go wrong with either line.....but for me, the Ol' man!

Ol' Man is much better than summitt, and I own both. I have the Ol' Man Air Elite, its a little smaller than the grand and the original and weighs around 17lbs. When you put any Ol' Man stand on your back you will be amazed at how good the feel and how well they pack. Honestly I can' t hardly tell the 17lbs Ol' Man is even on my back, the same can' t be said for any other stands, including by 9lb lock on.
