My current truing stand is similar in function and form just made from Aluminum. It is okay. I really want the same vintage cast iron stand I had early in my bike shop career. It was better in my view as the uprights returned back toward the user about 4 to 5 inches, what this did was that the upright was beyond the axle center. What this did was allowed more movement of your hand directly below the axle, a small ergonomic consideration but it just made it that much easier to use. I missed an auction a few years ago on one before snipe programs and really wish I had won it. Worth its weight to ship. A friend has one, and he knows of its value too, no amount of money I could offer would change his mind. A modification some guys liked was placing a neon green or orange section of cardstock below the sight line of the indicator, easier to see what was going on with the bright dayglow background.
