27105 : Good mic stand, but a little light to be very stable

If you want a lightweight stand to carry at your gigs, then this stand is great!!..However if you need a good strong stand to not fall over/ blow over, or to attach gadgets onto (cup holders, tambourine holders etc) then go for the non-aluminium model. It is lightweight aluminium, so not as strong if you are a full time musician..or a rock band jumping about!!...also could get damaged in transit if acrried with other heavy stands. Also, I always buy a stand with adjustable boom arm (always K&M!!) as the longer boom arm can get knocked by people passing in smaller gigs when it is long. The adjustable boom can be made nice and short and tuck in. Good for spare mic stand, and nice and light so you dont notice it is there in the bag, which is why I bought it!
