Is this a reasonable stand?

I have no experience using them but it looks like it would do fine for home wheelbuilding as it seems to be very similar to the Minoura one and that is decent.
Really the main concern with so called "professional" workshop stands as opposed to home mechanic versions is that the workshop grade ones are generally made of more robust materials to handle the sheer volume of wheels trued and built day after day after day after day....Perhaps most importantly the spoke key that comes with that stand is four-sided which is very important. Helps a lot with not rounding spoke nipples.

Going to take the plunge and get a truing stand and stuff then build up 3 wheels.

I need to work out what hubs to get too, 2x front wheels 1 dynamo and 1 regular, then for the back either a sram 2 speed or a flipflop hub but unsure what, any suggestions?
