Fender released a nice one but nobody has had any in the UK yet.

This below would be my favourite format for a stand for a valued acoustic. Stable and easy to lift with one hand. I have grandchildren around who are allowed to play with my metal resonator 'cos it's bombproof. Two other acoustics on this sort of stand tucked away in the corner. The rest on wall hangers!

I have one of those already and they are good. Not nitro safe though, so would need wrapping.
For the floating stand I think part of the point is that the instrument hides it — it's invisible to showcase the instrument
Everyone to their own but that's quite a price difference.
It looks like a hanging stand, like the Hercules one I see most often these days which, I would suggest, is the most stable (and probably ugly) one I know of.

Oh, and they look better than the floating stands too, as all you can see from any distance is the guitar itself.
In one word, no.
It's actually much more stable and safe than a traditional two-rests-for-the-body and upright-for-the-neck guitar stand. You don't have to be so careful about lining the guitar up with the top of the stand when you use it either. (I.e., if you have had a couple of drinks you don't have to stress out, it will be fine.)
(Not that you or I would ever do that, of course.)
Do I sound like an evangelist for them? Oh well, so be it. They are bloody brilliant. And at 15 or 20 quid, they are a bargain.
I’d be happier with a bigger base. I use the Hercules units on stage.
They dont take up as much space as three legged metal stands and look much nicer.
My Nitro guitars live in there cases but it’s easy to wrap the foam with cotton bandage to make it safe for Nitro guitars if you want to hang them for a long time.
Not really suitable for gigging live because they don't fold up for a smaller footprint.
But for home and studio use they are excellent and look much nicer than a load of black metal .
I also like the little locks you can get (no use for preventing theft but great for stopping little hands getting hold of guitars)
