I have an API Grandslam Supreme climber. Yeah, it's a bit of a pain carrying 20 pounds in and out of the woods and you have to be a little careful about making noise, but I think the versatility is worth it. If you want to move your stand site a little bit, you don't have to go through the hassle of putting up or moving a 'permanent' stand. It's important to have several different stand sites, and it allows you to fine tune your position at will.
