lots of ups, some downs

This stand adds alot in terms of looks to my keyboard rig. Its just cooler looking then the conventional x stand. Lots of extra foot space, I dont hit my knees on the legs anymore. It sets up quickly, folds into a compact unit and holds a 70 keyboard with ease. Those are the good things...

Here are the things that could be better:

-Some parts of this stand are plastic that should be metal. Mainly the cups that support the arms that hold up the keyboard. I could break this stand alot easier than I could my old metal stand.

(if not using 2nd tier ignore this)
I bought the second tier attachment and it adds a level of complication to this stand. You have to un hook both left and right second tier or else the stand wont fold up. It takes about 2 minutes to set up when my old stand took about 30 seconds. Now I have 3 seperate pieces I have to worry about as opposed to one big metal stand.

- Lots of little parts that could be broken or lost. I almost want to bring a back up stand on the road just incase I lose a knob and cant use the second tier.

-When keyboards are on it its harder to move than my old stand. More moving parts, so after the opening band is off stage and I have to pull my rig from side stage to middle, it takes a little more skill. No big deal.

Overall I like this stand alot, and I happy I bought it.
