Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Bikehand Repair Stand vs Park Tool PCS-10

I've narrowed my stand search down to these two. Any advice on which I should choose.

Thanks!

I have the PCS-10 and it's come in very handy.
All moving parts work smoothly. Bike feels well-supported.
No complaints.
It was my first and only stand, so I can't comment on the Bikehand.

Wait a bit more and save for the Park 4.1.

The clamp is well worth it. Secure and fast adjust. There is a reason virtually every bike shop uses it.

I prefer the models that hold the bke at the fork and bottom bracket, it's a much more stable platform to work on. Having the bike dangle by the seatpost is not that stable.
I'd look at the Park PRS-20 and PRS-21 if budget stretches that far, otherwize I'd get the Bikehand model for the cheaper price and the beefier tubes.

Park PCS 9 is cheaper than the 10, but very functional. The clamp needs no improvement. You can't do better for the money.
