Bike repair stand

Hi, I just watched Relja's great video about the DIY bike repair stand. However, building one myself is not for me. Therefore, I wanted to ask you which repair stand you would recommend buying for mainly home use?

What I am looking for in the bike repair stand:
- stability
- durability
- high weight capacity
- 360 degree clamp that is not too wide and covers a wide range of tube sizes respectively saddle post sizes

I am considering these three stands:
https://www.rosebikes.de/rose-s-4000-e-montagestaender-bis-50-kg-mit-werkzeugablage-2700583?sf=1
https://www.parktool.com/en-int/product/deluxe-home-mechanic-repair-stand-pcs-10-3
https://www.parktool.com/en-int/product/deluxe-home-mechanic-repair-stand-pcs-4-2

I would be curious to hear what you think about them and which one you would recommend buying.

Thank you in advance for your help.
 
If this is for a "home mechanic", I would choose the one that is cheaper from the suggested ones. If we are talking about professional bicycle maintenance, it is probably worth looking towards the Park Tool.
I use a solution similar to Rose, but from a different manufacturer. I've been using it for two bikes for the fifth year, and I don't see any problems :)

@VlPo gave some good advice I generally agree with.
I will add my 2c as the Americans say:

Based on your links, I suppose that sourcing parts from Germany/EU is the logical choice for you. With that in mind, there is no more honest recommendation than what I am seriously considering to buy, which is this:

Remco Bike Lift for Professional Clamps

They offer options for Park Tool or Unior clamp (the latter is wider, and I'd rather go with that, since Unior parts are more easily available for me).

Bikes are getting heavier (e-bikes are more and more popular).

For a manual stand, I would go with Unior 1693AQ0 stand.

That model, with the Unior 1693.1Q clamp (that clamp looks like the most promising).

Those are expensive - the clamp itself costs almost as much as a full stand from some other manufacturers. To make the matters worse, I haven't tested it in my own workshop. I do have some good feedback, but I'll take that with a grain of salt.

Regarding Park Tool and Rose stands - I've neither tested them, nor heard feedback from any mechanic I know personally - except for one park tool stand model, I'd need to ask about it (forgot the exact model).

Probably not the most helpful comment I wrote, but that's the best I can do with the info I have at the moment (my priority is to not make things worse by giving false info, if I can't help).

Thank you for your post, @VIPo
What makes me hesitant about the Rose stand is the less practical clamp.
Would you share which exact stand you are using?

This is the same stand as on your Rose link. The manufacturer is listed as Roces, bought on AliExpress.
Perhaps it is only slightly different from the rotary mechanism.
