Work stand recommendations

Looking for a new work stand. Any thoughts on Park versus Feedback? Are the higher end models really worth the price? I currently have a bench mount Park, not convenient in my new garage, so I'm looking for something free standing.

Park tool pcs-10 has been great for me it's sturdy and durable.  I invested in it because I had prior cheap stands that broke. worth the money for something that will last so long.

I have a Feedback stand now.  It works OK, but I prefer the Park that I used to have.  Not really a lot of difference in the different models of Feedback.

What puts Park over Feedback? Backcountry has a few deals on Feedback right now.

I sit on a roll around workstool 90% of the time when I'm working on my bike. THe legs on the Park Tool Stand are easier to navigate around for me.

If you look at what most of the shops are using, the choice became clear to me.

Do what you like. Stop hating people for their riding habits and get back to hating them for their skin color, religion, politics, and sexual orientation.

Same what Enoch said.  Just no way to get the legs out of the way with the Feedback stand.  It works, just not as well as the Park did for me.  Think I'll probably buy a Park bench mount and mount it to my welding table.

I prefer the feedback over the park I had.  My park was really old but the bike would rotate around because of the weight.  The front tire would always be on the ground.  I also have a feedback sprint work stand.  More effort to mount the bike but I like how stable the bike is and how you can rotate the bike around.

Park is the only one I ever had and I have never had a problem with it. I don't remember the model number but the legs fold out and it has a clamp like the bike shop stands do. It works like a champ.

I have a feedback and the legs do get in the way.  One thing I do like though is that it collapses in a portable format. I would say either will be fine.

I've had a park for probably 7/8 years? One time I broke a part on it, 100% my fault...called them with my credit card in hand to buy a replacement. Two minutes later - no questions asked and no payment necessary - "Thanks for buying Park Tools, your new part is in the mail today (free of charge)"....

Now every tool I buy is Park. Not a second thought for me.
