    The full-sized work stand makes repairs and adjustments easier for me. =

    There was a time when I had to remove the wheels to patch a tire. Not
    anymore. I slip the tube =

    out like everybody else. So the key to the decision is how adept are
    you at what
    needs to be done. I am not all at experienced or knowledge about about
    bike repairs and they
    go slowly with a struggle. But in other areas of my life those things
    that I do well, I can do on the fly with half the required equipment
    improvising all they way with excellent results.

    I find the little stand very useful for checking and adjusting shifting and
    rear brakes.

    For (nearly) anything else I turn the bike upside down.

    A proper work stand would be very nice but I have never been able to justufy
    the expense ;-(
