Looking for a work stand for at home, Not sure which would be the best ? Anyone got either park home mecanic or minoura w-3100. I can get the park for £65 and the minoura for around £70. Any views please !

I have a very old version of the Minoura. The only thing its missing is an oddments tray, which I note the current version has built-in. It's been going strong for 8+ years and is showing no sign of falling apart yet.

Having said that, Park always make quality gear.

Ive just ordered a park home mecanic stand. I pick it up in the morning from my lbs. Thanks for the advice and views. I had looked at loads of different ones and was doing my head in looking to see what suited me. I wanted a park from the start but was swayed with the minoura as i know the are a good make.
