IMHO, that type of stand is too big if you can avoid it
One of the reasons I switched from a laptop to a tablet was to replace the big music stand in front of my face with a tablet holder.
So, while this was pricey and has a slight angle to it (much better since they sent me a replacement part), I am glad to have it instead of a large music stand.

Something like this one - http://www.thomann.de/gb/thomann_orchest...remium.htm - will cost less and be far more useful all round.
Stands made out of a few flat strips of metal are way too flimsy to safely support anything more than a few sheets of music (no surprise there, that's what they were designed to do) and we all know how easy it is to knock one over.
A stand, such as the one in the link, is far more substantial and you can safely place the tablet on it without resorting to clamps, Velcro, etc. and I am quite happy to put my 13" tablet on one of these.
