Eh, sounds like you just got lucky with that one small meetup.

My PCS-10.2 sat in my garage for two years and I swore by it, told everyone the cast base was worth every penny over the flexy Amazon stuff. Then I helped a buddy swap a press-fit BB on his $45 stand and the whole job went exactly the same, no drama, frame stayed put the whole time. My wobble turned out to be a wobbly table leg too, and honestly a $3 shim fixed what a $180 stand couldn't. The Park still wins on the clamp if you're dealing with carbon or weird aero tubes, the jaws just grab better. But for a normal round-tube bike it's hard to say the extra $140 does anything. I'd keep it if you've got the space, flip it if you don't.

Ha! Dude, is a moldy tub really a big deal though? Half the tubs in my old apartment looked like a science project and nobody died. But hey, if the spoon trick saves you a weekend every spring, I guess that's worth something.
