Which background stand should I get?

http://cgi.ebay.com …em=280085823498​&rd=1&rd=1 (external link)

or

http://www.adorama.com …ground%20stand&​item_no=14 (external link)

The adorama one comes w/ paper...lol. But the ebay version seems to have that nice interlock between each top bar. I can't tell if the Savage unit has the interlock or is it one piece.

I'm doing a glamour shot type fun shoot for my little sister-in-law nd her friends for her 18th bday party and I need
some sort of background stand to bring to her house. I'll be
packing my white backgound muslin (need to steam it first to get rid of
the wrinkles....lol) or I might just use the white paper that comes w/ the Savage package.

Any other recommendations? I dont' think i'm gonna bother getting any extra lights/light stands/umbrella strobes or softboxes....what do you think? I don't usually do portrait type shots at all so I'm not sure if it will be worth it to get the extra lighting. This is more of a for fun type shots.

Thanks!

I went w/ the Savage Port-a-Stand from Adorama. It should be coming in a week ;) I'll update this w/ a review once I play around with it.
