MS 2007 Red : It's worth paying more over the base models

We bought two mic stands for our band recently; the cheapest Fun Generation and this one. So what does paying triple over the cheapest stand get you?

- All human points of contact, i.e. grips and knobs are much better in feel and/or rubberized

- The top boom is telescopic for additional flexibility

- All key mounting elements are metal and not plastic

- The finish is much prettier (and hey, red!)

- It feels much more stable than the cheaper version.

I would say the other reviews are on point. If you just need to buy one for home use and are planning on moving it seldom to never, the cheap one will do. This one, I wouldn't hesitate packing every night and setting up on stage.
