Any decent budget truing stands?

It seems like truing stands are either <$100 or >$500 (entry level Park tool TS 2.3) in Canadian dollars.

Are there any decent options that are <$200 or $250 for home use?

The cheap ones seem to have wildly mixed reviews.

This might sound crazy but I actually true my wheels using this derailleur tool.

I have a park tool pcs-10, which looks like to if no longer available. But there is a pcs-10.2 that is $250 USD.
This is the only stand I have ever used, and I do not use it a lot. But it has served me well for the 7 years I have had it.
As I said I have nothing to compare it to ABs there are times where I find something with it frustrating and take my bike down ABs turn it upside down instead of using the stand.
- Oh, I have several bike repair stands. But I'm looking for a wheel truing stand 😁
  
  Oops my bad. I do see that now. And I had no idea those existed and they would likely make my life much better!
  I read truing stand as tuning stand.
