I use this one and it can be found for less, but I was too lazy to search.
Each of us has their favorites..best advice is too narrow it down to a few and go look at them.

Ben, I have the original model of this stand and it has served well since 1982 where I began using it for RAAM. FWIW, it is worth every penny of the price and will last maybe even longer than me before I am called back to the home planet. Smiles, MH

This is true but only with respect to the Park Tool 10.3. The Park Tool 9.3 (which is more comparable in price to the Feedback Sports Ultralight) does not have the same QR mechanism in its clamp.

Anyhow, I can definitely see how the Feedback Sports Ultralight clamp may be hard to use if cannot hold your bike steady with one hand.

You can't go wrong with the Park Tool PCS-4-1 or the Feedback Sports Pro-Elite, they are such high quality. If you have a hard $300 limit II would even look at used (ebay/craig's list?) as unless they are obvious to have be abused you will love them and not ever regret the purchase.
