Suggestion: Workstand with a large clamp?

Was hoping someone could point me in the right direction?
I am need a work/repairstand that has a Iarge clamp.
I have an old Minoura worrkstand that I use to hold my Meta am by the top tube, but it has large diameter tubes and it is not very secure. [The clamp is not big enough to go all the way around the sides of the top tube]
I 've dropped the bike on my knee once already, I can't clamp at the reverb as not enough is exposed out of the frame.
I don't like the idea of clamping the moving part of the reverb.
So does anyone with a bike/frame that has oversized tubing recommend a particular work/repair stand?
Cheers

The park ones have big clamps, and big prices. Can you not raise the Reverb high enough to clamp the main tube?A Flock of Birds

No you're right I could do that but it is more faff than I want to do especially with bolt seat [post] collar and having to pull cable through to allow movement. :oops:
Of course I did look at the park ones but the prices scared me off!
Looks like I'll take a stab at modifying Minoura29er http://tinyurl.com/bs4flux

if you drop the seat before you raise the post, the cable is out of the picture, just got the collar to organise then.0
