Depending on your bike, and the reason for getting a paddock stand, it might be worth considering a Wheel Jockey:

If you're only after a stand to clean and lube your chain, and you've got a road bike, then the wheel jockey is worth considering.
I got a paddock stand, but I live alone, so it's always a precarious job of getting the bike up on the stand all by myself. Keep that in mind, it's really a two-person operation to do it properly and safely. The Wheel Jockey gets around that (apparently)
