That was probably my Trek/Wrench force stand you saw. Incredibly over built, it was close to 40lbs I think. Not really set up for precision wheel building though, more of a factory production stand.
I always get a ton of craigslist folks looking for wheel building tools. Whenever I list anything resembling bike tools that is always the first, and most frequent question by far.
I've mostly used the Park stands, they do the job fine despite the constant weird centering issues. Way less of a problem if you're the only one using it at home though.
