RE: Face the tree or Face away
I've got both My Summit face away wins hands down.
The face the tree is quicker to climb , conceals you from the deer better but your shot is too limited and you can't shoot a bow from it.
Summit is more comfortable, quieter ,sturdier and you get a 360 degree shot.And you can shoot a bow from it.

I go up a tree to hunt, not to sleep.

RE: Face the tree or Face away
I always faced away from the tree until I bought a couple of Gunslingers. With these climbers you face the tree.I was hesitant until I tried it. Facing the tree gives you allot better cover.With the GS's you're not right on the tree. You can still see around most of the tree.The tree gives you a good rest.I can stand and turn around in a few seconds and use the back of the seat for a rest.After getting use to facing the tree I doubt if I'll ever face away again unless I'm on a ladder stand or one of those pieces of junk Treelounges I still have.Facing the tree has sold me.I haven't bow hunted for a long time. For bow hunting facing the tree would have a disadvantage.For gun hunting it's hard to beat.

I try and hang my stand on the backside of the tree, facing away
from where I think the deer will come.
