Feedback sport mechinic or Parks PCS-12
I can't decide which one.
The PCS-12 has a better clamp, but requires a workbench. I do have a suitable workbench, but I haven't been able to see one or handle one myself.
Or get the Feedback sport mechanic and have the stand, they look decent but I am not sure.
PCS-12 is $100 and the Feedback is $135.

I've got a PCS-10 which has the same clamp and rotation mechanism as the PCS-12. I really like the way they work. I personally would not want a bench-mounted stand as I like to work outside most of the time.

I agree on the limits of the bench mounted clamp as it keeps you from working on the far side of the bike unless you unclamp it and turn it around. A free-standing work stand is much more convenient. The Feedback should be fine. I have one of their Ultimate stands and the differences are not very important. The Park PS-10 will be a bit more expensive but is a fine work stand.
