Doug,
The stand I'm currently using is the Quik-Lok QL-641, which is a heavy-duty, double-braced stand that has a fully adjustable second tier. The second tier is used for my laptop shelf, which I custom made to hold several other items. It sets up in seconds, holds a ton (265 pound rated) and is extremely stable. There is absolutely no bounce when playing and using this stand. List price is $165, but street price is about $145. If you go to me website
Travlin' Easy you can see the stand set up with the laptop by clicking on the photos link.
The Ultimate stand I posted in the other thread is quite rugged as well, but set up time is about 5 minutes and it is rather large. Good stand for studio work, but for gigging is just took too long for me to set up.
Good Luck,
Gary
