Depends on how well you cast sitting down. Most tooners that have a standing platform are fly casters, floating on a moving body of water, where being able to stand up gives them a better view of where to cast. It could be useful on still water, but overall, not that important as you are not trying to hit a specific spot. Most rigs can be adjusted so that a standing platform can be added at a later date.
