Sonor MBS LT 2000 V2 Cym. Boom Stand

I have a straight cymbal stand in Sonor's 100 range. This range seems to be discontinued now. That cymbal stand is great, it is very sturdy, folds away to a really small size and is very, very light. It's great! I was looking for another or if not a boom stand with similar spec and this (2000) was the closest I could find. It is not as lightweight (although to be expected as it is a little bigger) but it is also not as secure and has a fair amount of wobble for a cymbal stand. My biggest issue with it however is that when it is folded away it is still very tall. The 100 stand folds away into such a small space, it's great.
If it wouldn't have cost so much to return (from Scotland) I would have sent it back.
I have gigged with it however and it does the job just fine and thankfully I have a long hardware bag so it's size is not really an issue but when you compare it to Sonor's 100 range it's just not in the same league.
