Default Help me pick a Hang-on stand!

Alright here's the deal. I have a Summit viper climber and love it. I need a good hang on stand that is comfortable enough to sit all day. I also don't want a little tiny seat like the baby gorilla, or a little tiny platform. I'm not too terribly worried about the cost and wieght isn't my biggest concern either.
Here is what I'm looking for:

1. Comfortable
2. Large Seat, Platform
3. Quiet, solid construction

Any suggestions?

API Grandstand Fixed... If you get lucky you can catch the onsale somewhere for $100... But they are a Great Comfortable stand... I have quite a few of them, and love them...

Good Luck..

Summit makes fixed stands as well. They are hard to beat.

Last year I got a Boss XL and I'm very pleased with it. Comfortable, spacious platform, and reasonably easy to hang. At only $70 at Cabela's it was a great buy as well.

Another vote for Gorilla.

They make some very comfortable/lightweight stands. I don't own anything but Gorilla treestands.

I have two stands one is a Gorilla silverback and the other is a Bigfoot ExtraLounger .
The Silverback is very nice and I sit in that one more than the other but what I like about the Bigfoot is the platform.
30 in. wide by 24 in. long and it is a good stand, the problem is I get too comfitable and have a tendencey to dose off.
The seat on the Bigfoot isn't really thick but its wide enoungh for my big a** , the Bigfoot is made by RiversEdge.
I would get the Gorilla stand like everyone here had advise, they are really good stands.
