Default Engine stand question

Well, after risking my LM7 nose-diving, I need to get a new engine stand. I got a cheapo to begin with and need to replace it.
Can anyone recommend a decent one that won't break the bank? I like using Amazon, but of course, ultimately want to avoid something made out of Chineseium.
I know you can't have it both ways, but, hey... could certainly compromise most times.
eBay is another alternative, then again...
Any sane recommendations?
Thank you in advance

I picked up a foldable unit from Harbor Freight. I believe I got it on sale and/or had a coupon. For the price difference over the 'regular' engine stand I also have, the foldable aspect makes a HUGE difference in not only shop space but stability. It has 2 legs and 6 total wheels like a cherry picker as opposed to the little "T" to support the front.
