Hi Frank,
I hear your pain.
I also thought as you do.
And I did buy a gas stool.
And yes it was cheaper, easier to adjust, but...
It does not cover the full range of adjustment you will need,
AND
it does not fold FLAT, for transport to dark sites.
I eventually bought the bintel chair, so it ended up costing more in the end,
BUT
I have little hesitation in saying it was one of the single best purchases I have made.
Observing is so much more enjoyable when you are comfortable.
My recommendation, buy the bintel chair.
Versatile, sturdy, simple.
They are the best. (IMHO)
But buy some reflective tape for those dark sites because they are easy to trip over in the dark.
Happy observing
