Having had the Pro stand for a few years now, I completely echo your recommendation to get the heavier version, I wish I had. This one is much too flexy for my liking with a ~35lb bike. Sure would be nice if they made a steel version of this with the same great clamp, for stands that never leave the garage!
Clamp is fantastic. Love the quick-release button. Totally solid at any angle.
And I point the front leg more to the side under the front wheel, otherwise the whole thing will start to tip if I take off the rear wheel.
