I'm kind of at a fork in the road as to which stand I should buy. I will not be building my own, as I don't have time, patience, etc. So those posts are not needed.
I am stuck between the Blichmann top tier:

or
Stainless steel stand from these guys:

I already have a pump, plate chiller, etc. So when I add all the mounts, for my equipment to each, they come out to right around the same price. I am leaning more towards the blichmann, that way I can gravity feed my sparge water, and use my pump strictly for re circulation during direct firing the MLT. Also, the fact that the SS one has the gas build into the frame concerns me, as I may want to drill into it to add on stuff. I just wanted to get some info from you guys, or if you know of any other stands out there. Also, is it absolutely necessary to get a SS stand, or will mild steel be fine. I don't want a stand that will be rusty, corroded and compromised (structurally) in a couple of years.
