I have lazy jacks and I have sailed on a boat with Stack Pack. Lazy Jacks are not at all the same.

The total cost of a set would be under $100 (especially, if you do it all yourself). I find them (lazy jacks) extremely useful, especially, if you single handle. Some people don’t like the lazy jacks (but the stack pack would have the same issues). The problems arise from the lines getting entangled in battens. The solution for that is to move the lines from the mast to the spreaders (half way is enough) and making sure that when you set the main or drop it you are reasonably close to wind (right into the wind, preferably).
