Have a couple meer pokers on the way that are both sitters so win win. My only sitters now are a few danish free hands by various makers and while they are not feather weight they are great clenchers because of their balance.
Not a priority, but a sitter is very convenient when you want to put a half-smoked pipe down in some random place or your pipe rest is in use with the pipe you're smoking and you want a second pipe on standby ready to go.
As I'm getting older and less active, a sitter is a nice feature for sure............ I like the fact that I can set the damn thing down anywhere and then I forgot where it went...............
Amost all of mine are both. I prefer smaller pipes, and I intentionly seek out sitters because I don't really like pipe stands. I have a couple full bents that doesn't sit though.
