Default Interfit / Lumopro Light Stand Quality??

I need to decide between the following two stands. I'm just getting into off camera lighting and don't really need top of the line stuff, however, I would like the stands that will last and be functional. I currently have a Metz 58 and 48 flash that I will be mounting onto the stands. I may like to include other accessories in the future if one of these stands can handle the additional weight.They are both 8" AC stands and cost about thirty dollars. The brands are Interfit and Lumopro.I have done searches and find little users feedback on these two products.
I live about 2.5 hours from the nearest camera shop, so putting my eyes on any product is not an easy task..
Thanks for any help,
Mike

I do not think you will find any significant difference between the two. Either should be completely capable of handing what you have planned. Neither are pro quality but that doesn't mean cheap, that just means you can't bang the snot out of them and expect them not to fail.
