Well, I wanted to get some in before doing a recommendation but here goes:

Note that shipping is a flat fee of 10 bucks for up to 50lbs.  I just ordered 20
lbs (I figured that for 1 sack I was paying nearly 50% for shipping).  I also
have a copy stand that has a hollow square tube.  If I do some high
magnification macro work I have to do things like pre-fire, hold breath, tell
everyone not to walk into the room, that sort of thing.  I don't expect a lot of
improvement for the copy stand, but it's worth a shot.  I know Moose, groan.
