Summit Classic Viper. I have had one for 5 years. I love mine.

The Summit Viper Classic is a good choice as long as you don't mind the extra weight. It isn't made of aluminum like other Summits so it's heavier. It's still the great quality (probably better) that a more expensive stand would be.

Primarily bowhunting? I just picked up this stand, made by summit very light and comfortable. It isn't the stand the summit viper is but far more portable and great for bow hunting. You might be able to find it somewhat cheaper than cabelas. http://tinyurl.com/9spxsj8

Portable is nice but if you're hunting private, I'd buy a couple of Viper Classic's, pick your best spots and leave them. That's what I used to do on our lease in Coal County. I actually had two that I'd hang in my standby spots at the beginning of the season and leave them in those spots the whole season so if I rolled in late in the evening or real early in the morning I didn't have to worry about packing a stand in with me. I also had a lightweight one to move around and make me a little more mobile if I had the urge.

If you're leaning more toward a lighter weight stand, keep an eye on Craigslist. That's where I picked up all my stands. I had an API Grand Slam(the most comfortable one I owned), a Summit Viper lightweight, and a Lone Wolf Sit & Climb. I didn't pay over $150 for any of them and all three retail higher than that.

I am still looking for a tree that would allow me to use a climber. Guess I need to get east of I35.

^^^^^ this is kinda how I see it
If you want light, compact and portable look into Summit.
If you want comfortable, don't mind a little extra weight and kind of loud, look into API.
I like my APIs, I've had a few and a Summit. My APIs, I could sit all day and be comfy as can be.
