Cheap 'n nasty
I own a previous version of this stand that I bought in 2009.
The new back is a few degrees more upright which makes the guitar stand more in the vertical, less leaning towards the back. This makes it far more likely for your instrument to topple over, especially as the stand "legs" also stand a wee closer together, making a narrower embrace around the bottom of the guitar and giving less side support.
I do not feel that I can entrust [any of] my guitar[s] to this wonky construction and will consign this new one straight to the recycling centre - for the sake of a fiver, it seems hardly worth the effort to return it to Thomann.
The only slight positive point is that at 774 grammes the new model GS-2001A is lighter 'n easier to carry than the old one which weighs in at 1250 gr. But that's academic, when you can't trust the stand to support your instrument.

It broke in less than a year
I do not recommend buying it.
The "arms" that hold the guitar broke 10 months after the purchase.

The stand doesn't provide enough recline for the guitar making it incredibly unstable. The slightest puff of wind or any small nudge and your guitar falls forward and gets destroyed."
