With the above in mind, any opinions on modestly priced stands? Perhaps 20" - 22" high?
(Again, I'm not in the market for expensive stands, right now.)

Yes. Support your local metal shop. Call and shop a few local metal shops/fabricators. Easy to build, two plates for top and bottom, metal posts, weld, add screw-in spike nut-serts or tap threads, paint, done. Super easy for average fabricators.
With people out of work in a pandemic, any reasonable shop still open can handle this. Thicker metal, weighty, custom height, can be lower price than buying cheap thin metal junk online and USA Made! :)
