I like the design of the Omega as well, but the ease of transport is the problem for me with this stand. It weighs 30 pounds with the stacker and is very solid but just too heavy and bulky for me. It doesn't fold small enough for my transportation.

@GeeDeeWee:
Thanks. If I buy a Stage 3 compact to use it just for small gig, "Walkin" gigs for example, I might buy e Spider or Baby Spider because the design is very classy....And because of course, any gig when they say everything is provided, they never include any keyboards...

I definitely agree with an earlier comment. I would not try gigging with the Omega. The Spider is the clear winner there. It folds up and is just something to carry.

Nice clean setup! Although I'm a stereo dude, so, well, not for me. Poles, mixers, messy cables, etc.

Your Baby SpiderPro seems to be a different color than the normal aluminum finish, did you do something special?
I think I have gear issues ....

Hi, CP-

It is standard black model, but I covered the front with black contact paper to cover the large logo. Same on the Prophet 6 as I don't like the look of the brown wood. Goes on easy, comes off easy with no residue.

Hi Guys,
I know that we are trying to find advices on clean, nice, easy and fast set up and tear down but I had promised you pictures of the back so here it is....Don't be scared, it's messy but I hope you will see how the Yorkville stands could be used.
So, to start with, pictures of the back of the 3 tiers, for the Stage 2, D50 and NL2X:

Bar for the K&M laptop stand

You can notice that the two transversal bars are on top of the back legs of the stand and that it's kind of a nice "platform" to attached cables, power plugs and so on...And the extra bar attached to the second tier is a K&M laptop stand.
Below is a photo of the laptop:

Now, same set up but for the Nord C2, Prophet 12 and Prophet 08. Same thing, the "platform" let me attach the Tetra for extra voices for the P08 and a custom made sustain box, one sustain pedal plugged, 3 outputs...I have the same on the Stage 2 stand but it is velcroed under the NL2X...By the way, there is two Inputs and 3 outputs, then I could have the same sustain pedal that trigger both NL2X and D50, but I could manage that with my left foot or right foot, one sustain pedal on each side, for long sustaining notes (Sustaining strings on Jump or on Purple Rain for example...) when I still use at the same time the triple pedal for more usual duties...In that case, it's the same idea but with the P08+P12 connected together with one sustain pedal and C2 with another one:

There is the new Stay keyboard stand. They make a slim version that is less than 10 pounds, but I have not seen many detailed user comments yet:

https://www.amazon.com/STAY-Music-Keybo ... 7BKZQFH1BS

But, both arms are the same length, which would not work for me. They make the Tower version which has longer bottom arms, but that weighs as much as the Baby Spider.

Overall, I have had many types of stands, but the Baby Spider is the best so far for me in terms of weight and ease of setup/teardown.
