Hi, Susie,
I have both a reformer on legs and one on the floor. I can only think of one stretch that feels more effective on the higher platform, but that could be because I am 5'7", with more of my height in my legs, so ymmv. For some standing work, I prefer the unit on the floor because I feel more stable on it. I only paid $25 for the 2nd unit, and I have room for it, so I'm keeping it, but I have considered your question before. I do have one friend who has so much difficulty getting up from the floor due to her weight that she can't use her unit that has no base.
That ended up being a group of random thoughts, but I hope they help. Hopefully, one of the more serious pilates practitioners here can help.
