Ross, I have the Middy one, I bought it earlier in the season for stillwater fishing.
I bought it as it gives you a more upright sitting position for float fishing, whereas carp chairs tend to give you a more reclining position. It also has the attachments and side tray, useful for hard pegs where you can't use bank sticks. The star fittings work well although they are stiff to adjust and the locking screws seem flimsy ... I don't know how well they would last with regular use. The chair itself seems robust enough but time will tell. I find it comfortable if sitting very upright when the fishing is active, but like many of this type of chair, it has elastic springs across the middle of the seat and the part of the the seat in front of the springs sags. I find this makes it frustratingly uncomfortable if you want to slouch or recline a bit when the fishing is slow. Although it's heavier than my Fox Adjusta, it's not as heavy as many chairs, especially if you ditch the metal tray and attachments. I wouldn't use it for roving though.
Overall, I'm reasonably happy with the chair ... I don't use it that regularly but it does the job when I need that kind of chair and it's cheap for what you get.
bit to big for tight swims or roving about, i take a small nash lounge lizzard for short sessions
