Swingstar DX may be the best of both worlds. You've got the strength and stability of double-braced stands and the slimmer tube diameters of the lightweight standard Swingstar (25.4mm base, 19.1mm middle, and 15.9mm upper). In addition, you've got lots of pro features at less than pro prices such as a boom/straight convertible tilter and Omni-Ball holders on the tom stands.
