I'll back Headroom on this one.
Firstly, those stands can tilt back and forth, allowing for some phase-adjustment, so there is a mark there for the individuality of those stands.
No amount of DIY can match the sleekness of how they implemented that.
200 pounds seems kinda crazy -- I really want to see that
If I had the cash, there is no doubt that I'd consider the Headroom stand, simply because there isn't that kind of thought put into a speaker stand.
