With all the different saddle options out there, I’d see if you could try one in person before buying.
Standing with my legs locked all day has played hell on my knees, and I get the concept of “hunting THE tree” but if you have a serious leaner of a tree you get the plumb bob effect. There are some trees where sticking out from a saddle vs a stand still favors a treestand. And if you use your stand as the pack frame, weight is a wash with the newer stands.
I’ve actually gone the other direction now and I’m running a LWCG .5 with a Dryad Harness. I can pull out the drey that way if I wanna hunt hybrid style, and at least that way I can sit after a while.
