Ergotron LX vs Mount It!

[siteuntitled]

I need a desk mounted monitor arm and I can't decide if the Ergotron LX is worth the $100 premium over the Mount It! brand. The monitor will be pushed against a wall when not used and then pulled out and turned sideways when in use, so it should be able to be easily adjusted. I was hoping some of you might have some experience with either or both of the two that I am considering:

Ergotron LX (http://www.amazon.com/Ergotron-Desk-Mount-Tall-45-295-026/dp/B00689HXI4/ref=pd_sim_e_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=1VY0FCTVZCDREZRJBY5Z)

vs

Mount It!(http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005C2914C/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1Q5TXAPOS7WLS)

Do you think the Ergotron would be worth the extra $100?

Thanks!

I own 2 older ergotron stands (one of which is a three monitor stand the other being a wall mount) and their quality is very high. As for their newer products I haven't heard great things particularly their multi-monitor stands but as for a desk mount unless you really want to the cheap one should be able to handle fine but the ergotron one seems to look a bit sturdier and have better adjustability. Don't forget to make sure both your monitor and stand are VESA compatible

Just wanted to say thanks! I went with the ergotron and like you said, very high quality. I am glad I went with that.
