It looks like you track your Z. I think one thing these stands were aimed at was track work. You don't always get a perfect surface so the wide base provides better stability. Right tool for the job, not one tool for every job. I have a lift in my garage. Some would say why have a jack stand at all? There are jobs that work better on the lift and others that work better on stands. If you look at that picture above, I'm seeing 18 - 20+ inches of clearance under the front suspension.
It also looks like you're in the Chicago area. Aren't these things made in Chicago? You could probably go and see them and judge for yourself. According to the Rennlist thread, there are guys buying these things sight unseen in Canada and they love them. I would think those guys are paying retail + Canada tax + duty + shipping. You'd think they have pretty high expectations. I saw these demoed on a 911 in a parking lot. That's what impressed me.
