I believe Wheeldock is easier to get bike in and out of. You don't have to muscle heavy bike over the bar or mechanism. Major difference for bad backs, older riders, and normal size/strength people.

had some good feedback here, thanks everyone. took a little time to search the forums and saw some old threads on the topic. wheeldock and condor seem to come up on top quite a bit and users seem equally happy with both products. might have to flip a coin.

If space is tight, maybe a wheel chock might not provide the solution you need.
You are probably parking parallel to a wall and are trying to get extra close to the wall.
Maybe something like this or similar would/could work, i have seen some youtube video's but never in person:

If Condor is good enough for Harley it is good enough for you and me. I own two Condors I use in my trailer and garage. Excellent. You can leave your bike in the wheel chock and walk away. I own a 900 lb. Ultra and you put the front wheel in and walk away. No worries.

I just nudge my bike as close as I can to the wall, then put a piece of wood under the jiffy stand to make it more verticle. Cheap and easy solution.

I put one in mine, used drop in anchors. Put eye bolts in the front. Then I use ratcheting straps around the bars to keep it from tipping over. Bike doesn't lean on the stand, so she takes up less space.
