I've got the much maligned old, heavy one, had it since they came out. Guess I never thought much about the weight, although it is a pain to unfold sometimes. The heft kept it in place while I worked on something. Not sure this new one will stay in place, hence the "maybe." Hot, maybe. I’ve got the much maligned old, heavy one, had it since they came out.

I like the the B&D X frame. It is on my list.

I got one because it's lighter and more compact than the big ones. I have a real workbench so just need the portability. It's also the same height as a plastic sawhorse so the pair works well for sheets of plywood and long boards. Hot. I got one because it’s lighter and more compact than the big ones.

I have one and they are pretty useful for projects that take only a few minutes but don't require a full set of sawhorses. I can set it up cut/drill/paint/etc... and then fold it right back up.
