I agree on the twin kickstand. This is the one I put on my Traverse that is similar to the Pletscher:

I don't notice the extra weight especially for how useful it is. It's very well made and cost much less than the Pletscher. I bought the single BV for my wife's bike and it's also very well made and useful.
