I'm probably going to get a TS-2 and mounting base before the end of the year. If you don't abuse them they work well. I'm not sure if you still need the leg extenders for working on 29er wheels or if the current production has longer legs than other ones.

Take a bent wobbly wheel and a 6-pack of your favorite beverage down to your local bike shop and see if they'll let you play around with their truing stands on a slow day or after hours to see if you like how it works.

I don't know what the European bike tool manufacturers offer but do know they make some nice stuff over there as well.

edit to add:
I just ran a google search on truing stands and came up with a bunch of links for do it yourself stands, then came across this Hozan one that I would really like to have:
