I have

never used one of those in particular, but 27 # is pretty darn heavy.

I have both of these and the heavier greyback packs fine in my opinion. Walked it it miles and have carried it while mountain biking in to my stands. Awesome stand, extremely comfortable. However, I think you'll like the Greyback Elite better. It doesn't have the bar in your way and it has in my opinion a more comfortable seat.

Gorilla Climbers are easy to use, comfortable and the storage pockets come in great use for gear and snacks.

Ok you asked for opinions and here is mine.

I have two climbing treestands and I use them often, this is something that will last a lifetime if you take care of them. With that being said I would make sure to purchase a very good, comfortable, lightweight climber.
I personally have two API Bowhunters and they serve my purpose very well and a all day sit is very comfortable, I bought my second one last year on-sale at Bass Pros Shops for $179.99.

Summit also makes some very nice, lightweight stands and you can also check Cabela's. Cabela's has a line of stands that are made by Summit that if you catch on sale can be a very good deal.

I personally would go with one of the stands I mentioned instead of the ones you are looking at.
