Cheaper: no photos right now, but I made what amounts to the Park stand below, using 3 feet of scrap 2x4, an old front axle and QR, and some c-clamps.

What I did was make two mini t-stands. The fork one is about 6" on the bottom and 8" going up (upside-down T). The BB support tee is taller, maybe a foot. I ripped the 2x4 for the front support to the width of an axle minus lock nuts, then drilled a hole across that width and bolted the axle through there. I shot a couple screws through the wood against the axle to pin it in place (no wobble).

For the rear tee, I cut a notch and use a length of MTB tube to tie around the BB. Then I clamp both tees to my work bench in the shop. Works great. I'll post images of the setup later, but it supports the bike just like this:
