This summer I plan to fully strip and rebuild the bike. I already tinker around with it quite alot, so looking at getting a reasonable workstand.
Does anyone have any specific recommendations, or have any experience of these:

Am willing to spend a little more for the right stand.

Cheers.

    I have the one that is branded as XTools in your links, but mine isn't branded as XTools.

    I didn't pay that much though, but can't remember where I got mine from. Just did a quick search and came across the same stand branded as Raleigh on eBay for £59.99 (£5.99 postage):

    It's ok for my purposes which sound similar to yours, I'm sure that the Park one will be better, but you pays your money and all that... ;)
    XC: Giant Anthem X
    Fun: Yeti SB66
    Road: Litespeed C1, Cannondale Supersix Evo, Cervelo R5
    Trainer: Bianchi via Nirone
    Hack: GT hardtail with Schwalbe City Jets

    Here is a good place to look. I have the MK2 version with the blue clamp. Works really well, is strong, folds up for storage and is easily adjustable. I'd definitely recommend it especially for under £40!
