Do amp stands make it easier for bandmates to hear you as well?

Re: Do amp stands make it easier for bandmates to hear you as well?
I like using my Mesa Mark Series and my DC-3 combos on top of a Mesa 112 Theile cab. The Theile cab adds low-end punch and projection. The now-elevated combo speaker is easier to hear. The open back disperses the sound around the stage, so band mates can hear me too. And the controls are more easily visible and handy. And since it is coupled to the floor, I don't lose bass response. This is one of the issues with setting a combo on a chair or on an amp stand.
And a chair that can't handle an 85 pound amp isn't much of a chair, is it?

My only issue would be the size. The stand I use is small and foldable and fits inside my bag next to my Wah pedal and Power Strip.

It's because on the floor the amp is blasting at your feet and on the stand it's blasting at your heads. If the stage is raised a few feet then the amp on the floor is blasting at the people sitting in front of you.
My Vibrolux has kick back legs and when it's kicked back it totally changes things. Suddenly I seem loud as hell and I've got no trouble hearing myself.

True! this looks really cool, but cumbersome.
