Opinions?

I have two Summits, the Viper and the Titan. I had a lone wolf and traded it for the Titan. I felt safer in the Summit stands.
 
Summits are the best climber IMO. I have 2 Summit Goliath stands. They are basically a Viper but made for bigger guys. If you are over 6' tall or over 200 lbs I'd suggest one of these.
 
Just looked at them and will order one, thanks for the info. That's the only issue I have with my lone wolf

Good deal . Another thing that helps with comfort is getting the seat low enough . Alot of times when guys have problems with the seat biting into the backs of your thighs its cause its set a little high . Not saying thats what you've done , just something I've seen .
 
If you go with the lone wolf, get the wide seat. It gives you more room when you are wearing thicker clothes in the winter.

I like mine but wish I had the wide seat.

x100! I am lucky enough to have gotten the wide seat. If those are your choices and your asking opinions, API hands down.
 
I've got a Summit Viper SD that I've done a lot of work to and is now pretty light and comfortable. If I were in the market for a new climber today, I'd buy a Treewalker without doubt. They're a little out of your price range but well worth saving some extra coin for. If you get a Summit, get a Hazmore seat for it and prepare to paint it in a year or two!
