I was wanting to get some muddy stagger step type sticks for my wife to easily climb, I bet these are much more expensive than the muddys though. What’s the price tag?

If they’re aluminum that’s a sweet set up but I’m not needing them $250 bad. Id let the wife carry the extra weight on the muddys for $60 lol!
The sail cleat on the side isn't climbing rated either I bet.

It probably wouldn’t need to be fall rated. 500 lbs or something like that would be more than enough.
Where are you seeing this I’m not seeing it on their website?
Didn’t see a weight. Kind of irrelevant if you’re carrying a JX3 anyway. I may get some after there is some feedback on them. I like that they’re made specifically for the JX3. Here’s John demonstrating using the top stick as your platform.

Exactly what I thought when I saw them.
It still ends up being cheaper than most other saddle bundles available and it’s going to be a hell of lot more comfortable.

I think that to a degree that depends on the circumstances. Usual JX3 comfort (plus footrest), check. Long trek comfort on one's back, I can only speculate.
But I like that they attacked one of the weaknesses of the JX3 system, even if it isn't maybe ideal.
Though, I'm particularly a bit leery of the standoffs pointing at the lumbar when packed like that, in case of a fall backwards.

X-stand had an inverse take on the design that was discontinued. (Mantis Climbing Sticks). I don't know if they had safety issues or not. They were lighter as advertised, at 2.5lbs per section.

You have a point on cost now that I think a little harder. My method 2, x- wing and cgm aider are about 650 I think. So just weight/comfort/ease of use trade offs as usual.
I am curious about the JXC but I think size and weight wouldn't suit me too well

yeah I remember those, they sold them with their backcountry kit. I kind of forgot all about x-stand honestly....I could never get by those huge cables sticking up everywhere. but the x-1 mini was always intriguing otherwise.X-stand had an inverse take on the design that was discontinued.

My brother in law loves those sticks. But man are those steps sharp. Noisy too…
