Only down side is it can be unsettling if you walk into it by mistake and after a short swing, the bike returns the shove
Bit unsettling when the ceiling collapses.

+1 for the Park PCS9. I have had mine 10+ years, mainly left in the garden and still faultlessI know someone uses this, he seems happy but he does take his bike to the LBS for anything other than "cleaning and tweaking"
There are cheaper, similar stands from about £25 delivered
Either way, I would say that it's OK for minimal use on one bike, I bought similar for regular home workshop use on numerous bikes and some buy / restore / resell projects and although it's still in use it now has lost its grips, needing a piece of inner tube wrapping round the seatpost first, and the stripped clamp bolt (made of Happy Shopper cheddar) replaced by a normal bolt.....it's due for replacement
If it's going to get regular use, a Park PCS-9 is worth the spend. 2nd hand about £50 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Park-Tool-PCS-9-/292002217440?hash=item43fcb03de0:g:5tUAAOSwNnRYgOGq) - not mine and no affiliation with the seller
It's a "home mechanic" stand but we use one at work daily for "on the shop floor PDI & new bike assembly" stand (as opposed to the ubiquitous Kestrel in the workshop) and so long as you grease the plastic cone where it inserts into the metal frame now and again, it works as well as it did when it was bought
My cackhanded bolting to the rafter will fall out first. It's a solidly-built bike shed! (Not by me!)Bit unsettling when the ceiling collapses.
I have this one

Think I got it from Amazon not ebay though. Works absolutely fine and is cheaper than the one you picked
