Just looked at them tonight at Waldy based on your recommendation.  They go for under $10 and I may have to pick up  a couple.  They get good reviews from what I can tell, and although the compass seemed to work on the one I checked, it was tiny and looked cheap.
Just curious how big you are...  at 225, I'm not sure the extension joint locks would be tough enough for me.
