I hunted out of a Viper for several years, right up till the time I bought my Equalizer treestand. Once you hunt out of an Equalizer, you will either leave the Summit in the garage or sell it. You can adjust the level of the Equalizer as you climb the tree. You don't have to guess about the proper angle at the bottom of the tree and end up either too steep or too low once you get to your desired height. The Equalizer adjusts as you go up or you can just make one adjustment once you get to where you want to sit.
Also, the Equalizer is much more quiet than a Summit. The only time I would ever use my Summit after I bought the Equalizer was when I would take my step-son hunting with me. I simply hated using the Summit after purchasing the Equalizer.
The Equalizer is by far the best stand I have ever used and I have used all of them. You can find some good reviews on Archerytalk.com.
I believe the Equalizer is now sold by Buckshot treestands but I am not sure. I love them so much I am going to buy another just in case they ever stop making them.
