Park or Ultimate

For a repair stand if you had to pick between Park PRS-21 Super Lite Team Race Workstand and the Ultimate Elite , which would it be and why ??

I use the Ultimate Pro, which I bought before the Elite became available. The Ultimate's fold out to form a huge triangular base. It is very stable, even on uneven surfaces. I like the clamp.

I have not used the PRS-21. It does not look like it folds.

I have the Park stand and am very happy with it. It works very well with my wife's and my carbon fiber bikes. I can't really think of anything that I would change on it. Hope this helps.

I use the Ultimate Elite Compact stand. I really like the wide base. Also the clamps for the tubes are wide, so you don't need it real tight to hold the bike. In the three years of use, it has never needed lube either.

Ultimate Pro: über stable, easy to work with. What else do you need?

+1 for the Ultimate Pro.

Haven't used it yet, but found this at REI Outlet. Great price....
