Tool Stand - Which one?

Question

Opinions please. Was about to order the Evolution stand but noticed a Parkside one coming up on Thursday 01/08/2019.

The Parkside says: "Includes 2 additional tool holder sections for more mounting options"

Otherwise, they seem fairly similar. A few reviews of the Parkside in the past have read quite well - expressly comparing against the Evolution. But the Evolution does get good reviews at Screwfix.

Evolution 800B Mitre Saw Stand with Extension Arms (48911) £49.99

I have the evolution one, very sturdy, you can buy extra set of 'bars' to swap saws, or to attach a home-made bench top.

looks like the side rollers can't extend as far, as they each share tubes, rather than the evolution's square tubes that each serve one side roller, IYSWIM.

I bought the Screwfix one last year and have been very happy with it, but a couple of extra tool holders would be useful (they're quite expensive from Evolution).

yes they are, I think for the price I'd choose the lidl version, probably come out of the same factory ...

Not too worried about that - won't need to move it much. I hope.
