Andy,

I think that the problem is not only one of education but also of supply. How many folks have stands selected for their trees- very few! At our club show (which is this weekend BTW) typically everyone leans on the club supply.

Then the rule is if it fits, use it with no consideration as to aesthetics.

Then there is the overall consideration of how easy is it to get them, especially larger ones... not very and very expensive for quality- since you are essentially buying a piece of fine furniture....
