the other brand ones that are bodged with random nuts and bolts...
You see that's what pisses me off about the Park stand: it's built from repurposed/generic parts and has a crude, garden shed feel to it.
Which is fine, unless you're paying the Park premium.
I'll concede that it seems over-engineered and should stand up to heavy use though.

Do you mean the blue ones that fold up? We have a couple ES 1 or 2s, the share a base with the Race workstand I think and yeah, they are pretty pish. Legs are all loose, plastic knobs have cracked and broken. Definitely not worth the money.

The Pro Elite is the one with the traditional clamp yeah? Don't rate 'em really, the clamp is a bit finicky and on the on I used, the arm the clamp is on had a tendency to swing down and smash your knuckles as you tried to adjust the angle or something.
Not that I'd actually buy a Park for myself either, but when it's the shop's/boss's buck...
Ive used various stands in the different places I've worked and it's always the Park ones that just work properly, the other brand ones that are bodged with random nuts and bolts and bits of inner tube and gaffer tape and stuff.
