Over center buckle will get them tight around the tree. I'm not really sure in what part of the process they are loud? I don't think that's a common issue for folks. Also, I can't see needing more than 4 unless you're hunting a really big tree.
A small platform can't be beat for comfort, especially for leaners. But what you've got is best for all around function.
It's kind of like my web versus kestrel - if I know where i'm going and packing the 4lb platform isn't a hassle, I take it.
If I'm scouting and don't really know where i'm setting up - it's strap on steps for sure.
