The TaylorMade R7 stand bag is quite light and very comfortable to carry. My golf course is really hilly and when i use a trolley it falls over or runs of a lot so it being comfortable to carry is very useful especially when playing more than a round in a day. The design of the bag is also very nice and the pockets make it very functional. I've had a few golf bags where the stand has snapped (on cheap golf bags though so i suppose you pay for what you get), but the stand on this bag seems very sturdy so i'm hoping to get lots of use out if it.
