My wife had back surgery and needed a way to sit and stand during the day when she went back to work. We are both IT professionals. I did a bunch of research and it came down to the workfit-a or the workfit-s. I know someone with a kangaroo, but I needed something for her that took very little effort to lift and the ergatrons fit the bill for that much better. I thought the s looked sturdier, but she liked the a because it mounted on the back of the desk instead of on the front. I ended up getting both. We got both models with the extra work surface which makes a huge difference in usability and with the dual monitor setup. I set up the a for her and the s for me. Both have dual 21" hp monitors. We use wireless keyboards and mice to simplify the cabling, although I had them set up wired initially and it was not a problem. It just took a little more work.
We love both models for different reasons. I like the s because it is simpler and I think the work surface, which is raised from the keyboard, is a better setup. She likes the a because the arm gives much more flexibility in motion around the cube. They both work perfectly for what we wanted, something we could use to sit and stand with during the day that take almost no effort to lift and lower.
I would recommend the s if you are tight on space and don't need the flexibility of the a. I would recommend the a if you have more room and want the flexibility of side to side motion. We don't have the bow hinge on either, so I can't say how they work, but we could see the benefit for sharing one monitor at an angle without having to have someone stand behind you.
My wife sits and stands on and off during the day as her back requires as expected. I thought I would alternate sitting and standing every other hour to try it out. I find I actually stand pretty much all day long at my station instead. I sit when I go to meetings and eat or after I work out. I got very inexpensive stand mats (less than $15) and I use mine all of the time and it makes a difference on my feet. My wife uses it less because it gets in the way when she uses her chair. I have a foot stool I use when I stand to keep one foot propped up on and off and I flip the mat over that when I sit, so it works out well for me.
The bottom line is both of these workstations are excellent for our needs. With work surfaces and large keyboard trays, they will each run right at $500 apiece. I find the benefit of being able to stand and sit well worth it. They are very sturdy, but they do take time to set up correctly. Setup is fairly straightforward with the instructions, but not trivial. The only issue I had was the holes for the worksurface on the s didn't line up perfectly and took some time working that out. Adjusting the tension on either takes some time, more so on the a, but everything works when you get it right. I find that I keep the keyboard higher than I thought to avoid wrist fatigue, but at the right height, it is not an issue. Getting the cabling right so it is clean and tight also takes time, but it turns out well if you work through it. If you are a hard typer, the monitors will bounce a little, but I adjusted easily and got used to it. More tension could reduce that, but I don't find it an issue.
The cool factor on both is way up there, particularly the a. You will get attention. I wrote this review because I found very little online comparing the two models. I hope you find this useful.

I purchased this for work a couple of months ago. I have back and neck issues. Being able to stand or sit is absolutely awesome. You can get the strain of you back for awhile. I probably stand 6hrs and sit 2 hours at work. The device itself is well made but it is unstable. The extra work surface is entirely to flimsy to write or type on. Since the work surface hangs from above there is no real support. You have to be ginger when using it. No heavy leaning. It is also to small so I added a shelving board to it by screwing it right to the existing surface. The upper work surface is stable because it has more contact with the suspension frame but is to high to use for typing. The monitors need to be at a point where you look straight across and not down which makes the keyboard to high. You arms need to be at 90 deg when typing . This device is excellent compared to others out there for price but needs to be more stable. The base needs to be bigger and the work surface supports need to be stabilized better and this thing would be 5 stars easily. I feel that for the price you are paying this is not to much to ask. If you just want the choice of sitting or standing , then this device gets the job done. I am 6ft tall and the height on this device is maxed out when i am standing.

I installed this at work a few days ago and am very happy with it. The separately adjustable keyboard and monitor height made it so that I was able to get it just the right height. The quick height change means I can alternate between standing and sitting as well.
The machine is impressively sturdy and well-designed, somewhat of a rarity, and made a pleasant surprise.
One comment is that anyone much taller than 6'0" / 183cm may not be able to get the monitors quite as high as they need. (24" monitors are just the right height for me at the highest setting, but wouldn't be good for my 6'5" office mate!)
