As a professional photographer, I have purchased many tripods and light stands due to their bolts and locks coming loose or braking within months of using them. This stand is made in such a way that you will not need to replace them any soon. Yes, they are more expensive but the benefits are many, including: The material is impossible to break, the legs spread wider than any other stand, giving your lights more stability (we all had lights falling on the ground and braking due to the tripod not having a good base), they can adjust to bring your lights higher than normal stands, and you can use them for vertical lighting as well as using the extra arm to position them horizontally on top of your model's head or product to achieve the desired look. Some times spending a little more, will mean saving money in the long run by not having to buy light stands for a very long time, besides, your studio will look next level.
