RE: Summit vs API?
Most of the reasons have been listed here for me. Bottom line Summit just makes a better stand in almost every way. When you sit in trees as long as I do you want a comfortable stable and safe one! Summit acomplishes this with ease.

The Revolution looks like a very comfortable stand. Are you able to easily remove the foot rest or is it welded to the climber?

RE: Summit vs API?
I have a API shooting Star and I just bought my dad a Summit Revolution. I have to say that the cable set up and the seat is better on his Summit. I think you really can't go wrong with either one. The most important thing is to get the model that fits your style of hunting. I know his revolution wouldn't be best for me because even though it is more comfortable, it is also bulkier to carry and I do a fair amount of walking with my stand on my back. I believe the Python or Viper may be better for that, however one of the two has a bar across and is made more for the gun hunter. I like to be ablt to lean over the edge of my stand and shoot down with my safety strap holing me in.
Good Luck,
