Hi Leslie: Because of where you put your stand, I see your point about the AM stand, especially if you have a cat! However, the one you bought will not fit in the MB7 case as mine does. I only use it on the floor; if the horn does get dumped, I don't want it falling any distance.

The other one proved precarious because I was placing it on top of a wooden music cabinet that was barely larger than the stand and I worried about it getting dislodged and my horn falling off. I also think the other one looks so...transformer like (those toys that used to transform into things). Just seems so macho, so overkill. But that's just me!
