    Do you guys think that the extra space on the aho2 is worth the extra 2 lbs? Debating which stand to get next. Let me hear some pros and cons. Thanks!

    Is the assault really that small?

    It doesn't seem to be when you are just looking at them but it is a lot smaller.

    the extra room with the alpha is nice for pacing stuff under the seat

    I have them both, and love them both! I've found a need for both sizes also, since it's nice to have the room of the Alpha, but I've also had situations where a smaller stand like the the Assault squeezes into the tree location I've picked. Such as a place where there's multiple trunks or limbs in the way. A guy always needs to be prepared when hunting whitetails, and having them both does that for me! Either way they're great stands!
