Here's my words.. that seat is good (for the classic right?) and well worth it's $80-90 (I'd 100% also suggest the extra 40 for a set of lovely amazon seat sliders if you're going junkyard chair vs seat and frame from GTO) It still doesn't compare to an 8020 rig if you can swing it.

I had a knock-off gtomega so my experience might be different but my biggest issue with that style stand is the uprights really don't have a lot of support and they can get right floppy during races even with only my CSL elite (Possibly fixed with the $50 add-on of the upright supports when you buy the seat frame). You also have some adjustability but with my 6ft frame I was struggling to find a place where the pedals and wheel were in the right position. This is because in order to get the wheel closer to my body it also had to go up or I had to tilt it at a weird angle that couldn't be compensated by the tray. It served me well for the 2 months I used it while waiting to see if I was one of the folks that my company was laying off in it's reorg plan but after using it for those 2 months I quickly jumped to a rig.

If it's what is in your budget it will make you happier than using a wheel stand and office/gaming chair (especially with LC brakes, my forearms stopped hurting due to having to hold myself from sliding while braking) . If it's a matter of maybe waiting a little longer until it is in budget.... I'd consider stacking that cash for a rig.
