Hi
Recently I've bought a V Stand, Roland Version.
I've had a Ultimate Apex, and the V Stand is by far better. It folds to a very small size, it's very sturdy and it looks fantastic. In my opinion, if you play in the seated position, i'd prefer the Roland version, the same I bought.
About the midi pedal board, I can't say anything because I don't know the size of it. But I guess that won't be a problem.
