I think that you will like the 788!

The newer ones have a tilted stand that I do NOT like! Mine still has the flat stand!

 

I have abused my 788 a lot!

 

Two complaints about it!

 

Original light was junk and very poorly located--got in the way!

 

The tools free clamps --were hard to use with arthritis! Bigger knobs -- I made a over knob-- then some how over tightened them. I then modified them to actually use tools to tighten-- a few years back now! It was to be a temporary fix while my new parts came! Still using it that way--seem to be used to it and like it.
