My opinion of Tree stands.....
Most of the top end stands are very similar and well made.......Weight ~ 20 lbs, easy to put on a tree, climb about the same, and are sturdy.
One of the major difference is the seat. IMO.....the chair type seat is the most comfortable. I have had a Summit XL for ~7 years and love the seat. Mine was made the year that they made an air inflated type seat and back rest. It takes an extra minute to blow up the seat and back rest. The foam cushion seats are also very good.
I have never used the mesh netting type seat......but can't see where they would be confortable for long sits.
