Wheel Truing Stands

It's time to start building and truing my own wheels, so I'd like to get a good stand for just that. Does anyone have experience with the Park Home truing stand or any other home model stand that they'd like to speak good or bad about? The LBS uses the Park pro stand and I'm hoping to not have to spend quite that much money.

Even if you drop it from off the garage wall...twice. Not that it has happened to me No, sir. I didn't have it fall off the hooks twice. Never happened.
