I sat down to evaluate your two stand choices, side by side. I think they both present a cleaning challenge, with the different annoying parts, but neither without frustration potential. Both of them are going to take space in the room, even the tabletop model, as it needs to sit on a table. I notice most of your cages are dome top, and I regret that, since they might otherwise provide ample space for tabletop stand models. Both stand models are likely quite costly. If there were a significant price difference, that would weigh heavily in my selection process. I can't project how this would go, but you should ask yourself if your birds are likely to share a stand at the same time - in such a case, I would tend toward the one that could accommodate more birds. Being me, I idly wonder how it would go if you got a six foot table and put a row of tabletop stands on it - would the flock go for that? I also cannot divorce myself from the fact that I see one of these stands as visually attractive to this human and the other as not.
Next I tried to evaluate the stands independently:
I've refrained from buying a metal one like that, actually, because I think it's large, expensive, and of questionable utility. While the one you selected looks, indeed, better than many, I always wonder where the "play" comes into such a "playstand".
I see the large wood perch at top, with the many hangers. I like that, actually, a lot. I see it as the best part of this stand.
Next I see the swing. I don't see any enticement to get the bird on the swing, however. Do your birds go to a swing just because it's there? My Canaries do -in fact, when I bought the swings for them, I could practically hear the yellow one hollering "A SWING! A SWING!" as he rushed for it. But the 'Keets and the Ringneck? Not so much. They go to their swings because the swing is the perching place for near the food or the only option in the area (Ringneck) or it is the high perch in the cage (Budgies). Maybe it a toy hung from the same spot the swings is hung there would be a reason to swing.
Below the swing I see food cups and a long perch. Food cups are obviously great fun, and they can double as toy containers and foraging spots. The long perch would be a place to hang out and access the food cups.
I question the ladders, mainly because none of my birds has ever shown interest in a ladder. I think ladders may be of more interest to clipped birds who actually need them? If your birds like ladders, then that would make this piece a lot more useful in my eyes. If not, then I just see the ladders as a spot for modification into toy hangers. If it were me, I might wrap one in bird safe rope, so it looked like a cat scratching post, and hang a lot of things on the other.
The rest of the stand is just bulky framework. I realize birds don't have any hangup climbing on metal -we see them on the outside of their cages all the time. Like the ladders, I see the frame as a potential spot for hanging toys.
As far as the wood perch is concerned, I think it looks inherently more interesting, but it also needs stuff added. You could use your drill (here's me plugging the drill again....) and some small eye bolts to make hangers anywhere the wood is thick enough to support them. Or you can just tie stuff on and retie it as the ties are bitten. I use a jute twine to tie lots of stuff on for Rocky, and it took him 10 months to get around to cutting then end of a rope perch off, while he goes through toy hangers regularly.
I see two treat cups, and I imagine you could add more anyplace, again using your drill.
I would definitely add rope to the wood stand. You could drape and tie a rope on, and you could wrap certain branches. I also see the entire wood stand as a potential chew toy.
I realize I didn't answer the question.
Truth is, all I can do it give thoughts and questions. If you *really* want me to tell you what to do (and I know you don't!) then I'm going to tell you to change all your cages for flat tops and put tabletop play stands on them. I hope my thoughts helped you think about your thoughts!
