Per Biggie's comment.
"I have both but only use the Huntmore in a turkey blind as it swivels and is awkward to set up and take down."
Unfortunately, you have an older version of our original chair. It would be like me comparing the older PacSeat vs the new HuntMore chair. It would not be a fair comparison. Doug makes a great backpack sling style hunting chair, but it's not a HuntMore, and a HuntMore is not a PacSeat. Too many others online have fairly explained the difference for me to repeat it.
The new 2011 HuntMore 360º chair is at least a 40% better chair then the original. It's easier and faster to set up and take down with the QuickSnap hooks. Sure there is a learning curve to setting up the chair, but it is quick and easy to do and the comfort and versatility is worth it. The HuntMore is more flexible in more hunting situations then the PacSeat. The legs are adjustable when you can not find a level spot. The HuntMore also has larger feet that don't punch through the earth.
One major advantage of the HuntMore 360 Chair is that it is a more accurate shooting platform of the two. The HuntMore is the quietest most stable rotating shooting platform on the market. I know you can "awkwardly" make the PacSeat rotate on one front leg with practice, but there is no comparison for easy of shooting and accuracy of shooting. A rotating platform allows you to keep better shooting form. No matter what direction the game comes in, you can track or rotate with the animal and at the right moment, shoot accurately using correct form. Whether your using Fred G's "Hunter Stance" or classic shooting form like Larry D Jones, there is only one chair that allows you to do that. Compared to any other hunting chair on the market, you'll not find yourself shooting more accurately from on a HuntMore 360º Chair. You'll be shooting more accurately and quicker using the HuntMore. Your seated shooting form on the HuntMore will more closely resemble your shooting form while standing. This is why I designed the chair with a rotational hub system. Also a rotating seat allows you to draw your bow with greater easy. When shooting from a seated position, you use more of your back muscles then when standing. When in a fixed position chair you're actually fighting the chair while drawing your bow. If the game you hunt always shows up right where you want them to stand and are set up for, buy a PacSeat, if not buy a HuntMore.
For those who want to be able to use your HuntMore Chair for "on the move hunting", here's a new trick that one of our customers showed us. You can fold up the HuntMore Chair up very much like a folding chair. Just remove the front hook of the bottom seat pad from the U-Shackle, leave the back two attached. Then flip the front of the bottom seat pad up parallel to the backrest. Spin the front hook 180º and attach it to the top of the backrest. Fold down the upper front seat pad leg and the three lower legs together. you can easily gun and run with the chair folded up this way. The chair balances in your hand between the upper hub and hinge. You can even add an over the shoulder strap and carry it that way. Some folks even strap their folded up HuntMore to their blinds and carry them together.
If you don't want to fold your chair up at all, some of the backpacks with a game shelf can be used to carry the chair completely assembled.

www.tradgang.com/noncgi/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=109820#000000 Doug makes a great product, we just believe we make a superior hunting chair. Neither chair is "Perfect" in all situations, we just believe ours is more perfect in more situations. We all have limited resources, if you can afford them both, buy them both, you'll be supporting your Trad brothers. There will always be fans of both products, friends and supporters. We're both Traditional Bowhunters to our souls and I'm sure his family like my family is thankful for the love and generous support the Trad community has shown us!
Thanks for letting speak my piece. I hope neither Doug or Biggie take any offense. I'm not looking for an argument or fight, I just want to set the record straight, from my bias view point.
