Sanus, Skylan stand questions


I just bought some small monitor speakers; my first. They are Era Design 5s; rather small, with two mounting threads on the bottom.

I now need stands, and have narrowed the choices down to these three:

1. The manufacturer recommended the Sanus Ultimate Foundations. A bit more than I want to spend, at about $300.

2. Sanus also has the Steel Foundations stands, which are a more reasonable $150.

3. Skylan.

All three allow mass-loading.

Any experiences/opinions that can inform my decision? Between the 1 and 2 option, for example, I'm curious what I'm paying twice the price for, and whether it's really worth it?

Just a quick addition...from what I have read over the years on the forum...lot's of people use BluTak to secure their speakers to the stands. I use it myself and can assure you that if the speakers fall the stands will fall with them.
