Hey Don, I just bought a Ultimate Pro stand (not the compact but the red one). They go for around 189.99 but you can get them cheaper with different web sales (I paid 160.00
I went with Ultimate over Park Tools because you get more for your money and Ultimate makes a lot of stands for other things then just bikes. Check out some reviews.... Velo news did a review on stands and so does Ultiamte's website.

I originally wasn't going to spend this much on a stand but couldn't justify a park tools home mechanic stand that was only a little less but without folding legs... I spent a little more then I originally wanted but am very satisfied and this will last a long time.
