Best Climbing Tree Stand

Hello: All right, I'm ready to spend the money for a real tree stand. I don't want it to weigh a ton, and creek and rattle as I walk into the timber. I'd prefer that the base and the seat not swivel when I stand up, and I'd like to be able to sit comfortably enough so that my legs don't go numb. Does such a stand exist? I'd like some help from you folks . . . and maybe I can short cut the search process a bit. Thanks in advance.
OK . . . its down to the Lone Wolf Climber . . . if there's something better let me know!
Thanks for all the help.

I had placed my stand out in the woods and deiced to hunt another area and a friend offered to loan me his Summit Vipor stand. This is a truly light weight stand and it feels like you don't have a stand strapped to your back at all. It is very comfertable and it is easy to climb with also. I would recmond either the API Grand Supream or the Sunnit Vipor, you would not go wrong with either one.
When some of the guys read this they will wonder why I did not mention the Old Man stands. I have used them and without bashing someones product I will just say it was not a fun experiance being squized in on a small tree and then slipping down the tree about 10 foot before it got another bite. That was my first and last time in a Old Man tree stand. I have huntting buddies that love them, more power to them.

I think it all depends on what style of hunting you'll be doing. The 20+ pound climbers are too big & heavy to tote around, especially for long distances and extreme elevation changes, and are probably a good choice if you don't plan on moving them much. If you like being "mobile", scout and hunt new areas often, and don't trust leaving your stand in the woods for some worthless #*&! to steal...the Bushmaster is the ticket.
