So from what I think I've come across so far and as for the recommendations on here. This is what I've found. Cabelas ultimate is the way to go although bulky and cumbersome, it's probally the nicest. Rodgers goose buster runs it a good second place. Watched a youtube video it took the guy some time even in fast forward to set it up. Cost wise the avery products are good and low profile. The cabelas ultimate I like because it hinges to itself and not using pins to slide to hold the frame together. The momarsh I'm not sure about how sturdy it is w the legs on it as I've never been in one. Keep the comments coming I'm looking at all of em.

If you are walking in on public, I would suggest the ghille suit idea or something else. Layouts are bulky and a pain to carry long distance. But they do work great and keep both concealed and out of the wind.

I have hunted out of a bunch of them, most all the major brands and models. I would HIGHLY recommend the GHG ground force or the finisher. The finisher is my personal blind and I love it. My brother hunts out of the ground force and I can't say there is anything wrong with that one either. Do your self a favor and get the right layout the first time and don't look back! You won't regret it.

Are you close to a store that carries them? If so, go try them out. Try setting them up (pretend it's dark and you are running out of time before lst) then fold it up and carry it around (pretend you have 0.5 mile walk with other gear) then lay in it and see if it is comfy enough and a low enough profile to hunt out of for several hours. Then figure out which of the factors is more important to you and you'll get an idea of what you want. My next step would be to wait between now and next season to see if I could find a used one, because there isn't much of a hurry.
Check the bargain cave often for good deals too.

I currently have four Cabela's layouts total. 3 Ultimates and 1 Mobile 1, and I have had no problems with any of them in 3 seasons. But here's my honest opinion one them. Ultimate: What really sold me on the ultimate was the fact that it is waterproof up to 10" (this works great when we hunt flooded fields). They also have a lot of room, and easy opening doors which I like. They have a lot of good features and you get what you pay for. The only problems for me is that they are bulky and take up space. But I don't walk in with them so it's not a huge deal. Overall, I give the Cabela's Ultimate a 9/10. Mobile 1: This blind is very light and great to walk in with. Some things I don't like are: the doors don't have frames, and there aren't a whole lot of stubble straps. But like the Ultimate it is a good quality blind and you get what you pay for. I give it an 8/10. Hope this helps

Aerangis which ghillies suit did you get? I use one I made when I was a grunt. Woodland bdu's, netting, shoe goo, and burlap.

Finisher. Steel frame is stronger then most. Cabelas is a pain to setup.
I use one on public and use a cart to carrying things. Because the finisher is a rectangular shap it straps down easier. Not sure how you plan to carry yours but the fold up size might be something to consider.
