I have been looking at the SteelHorse rear stands and I am hoping that someone can tell me if the difference between the URRS02 is worth the extra $20 over the URS1-4 model.

Considering that I will not be using the swingarm spool feature, is there any other difference between the two models to consider?

Wombat-
Having tired of struggling with chain maintenance, I decided to purchase a stand for the TBS this year. After much Internet research, tearing of hair, and gnashing of teeth, I choose the SteelHorse. I went with the URS1-4. As far as I can tell the only difference (other than the obvious lack of swingarm spool function) is the URS1-4 comes in white. (Although I see now the website states one may call for availability in black)
Upon the stand's arrival, I had to remove the tension springs from the saddles to set them wide enough to fit on the TBS swingarm. The stand is sturdy, well made, and lifts without a hint of twist or buckling. The wheels roll smoothly and, overall, provides confidence when lifting the bike from it's sidestand.
I am well pleased with the stand. If you have no use for the swingarm spool brackets, I vote save the $30 (that is a couple of tanks of gas, you know!)
Cheers,
Jim

I took the plunge and ordered the URS1-4 model.

I have to say that the quality of the product and the service from Ken the owner are second to none and I cannot recommend them more highly.

The shipping quoted on their website was $30 to me. Ken emailed me to tell me that he had sent it by Expess Mail at an additional cost to him of $21, so I would have it by the weekend.
On top of this he tossed in an extra lift plate in case the standard one hit the exhaust as it apparently does on some models.

I am a happy camper!
