To answer your question regarding improvement, that is a definite YES!
I had been a long time user of Lovan Soverign racks because they were modular and I can stack them however I want (two different heights). I then migrated to Solidsteel racks. If you don't want to spend a lot of money, I would highly recommend the Solidsteel racks. You can find a used one for around $400. Mine is setting in the office right now as a shelf for paperwork. :-P
A friend of mine bought these Grand Prix racks two years ago. This guy had tried everything under the sun, and he ended up with a 400 lb slab that he was using under his electromicroscope at his lab at work. We visited his place when he first got the Grand Prix, so we could help him swap out the slab. When I held the Grand Prix amp stands, I thought he had gone mad paying that kind of price for something so light and flimsy. (It felt flimsy to me) But after we did the swap, we were all in awe of the improvement we heard.
I ended up doing some research online and have ended up replacing my Solidsteele stand with offerings from SolidTech.
