Wingstands Update

Hi,
Anyone have any thoughts on the current state of the art for light, compact wingstands. I've reviewed all of the threads from the last few years as well as looking at various websites. Just wondering if there are any new entrants to the market.
FWIW, I absolutely LOVE the old Wings and Wheels wingstand from the early 2000s that came in kit form. Cheap, light, simple, and incredibly robust. I could probably see fabricating and powdercoating the two key parts (top cluster and the leg support unit) if I had the time... which I don't. If anyone wants to sell a used one (or two) I'd be interested.
Simple, sturdy, light, inexpensive and readily available at any Home Depot
