hello, all!
I started with an EWO UOS with the U.P platform. I used this for two seasons (and liked it) but decided I wanted a little more foot room. Not much, just enough to stand flat footed, maybe turn and stand with my back to the tree. I also wanted to keep the angle for leaning, as I lean about 50% of the time.
So I got the Mini Seeker.
I replaced the U.P with another double step (im a one sticker) and used this combo all last season. Boy what a difference! But now, again, I'm thinking that I want a little more room. Not much (again), but enough to turn more smoothly. On the Mini Seeker, I have to do a little shuffle to get turned around. I want to get rid of that annoyance.
So now I'm looking at the Onyx.
I like the size, not worried about the extra 1.25# and am really interested in the three angled sides.
If anyone has the Onyx and Mini Seeker, could you PLEASE post a pic of the two side by side? I'm really looking for pics to compare the two. Also, what are your thoughts on the Onyx and what (minimalist) packs are available? I currently use the Predator pack for my mini and like to be as minimal as possible.
Thanks! And sorry for the long post....
