Hello clicker5,
Thank you for your question.
I searched to see if any other "official" Sony stands were available
for this model.
Sony Style USA shows the SU-GW1 as the matching stand:

Circuit City confirms:

As a amatter of fact, I found dozens of sites that show this as the
stand for both the 50" and 60" Grand Wega XBR800 series..
I imagine the terminology stands for Stand Unit - Grand Wega 1 or very
similar.
I even searched for SU-GW2, but found nothing. I searched Grand Wega
stand and only found the GW 1 model. In my experience, Sony does not
introduce a new stand until a new model display is introduced. The
bezel color of an updated model will often change, and the stand
design and color will change with it. I think we are very safe to
assume that this is the only "official" Sony model stand for this
display. A number of online stores claim to have this in stock, by the
way.
However, searching [sony +"grand wega" +stand -"su-gw1" ] I found
aftermarket models that might interest you:

Techcraft GV101 Sony Grand Wega Stand
And there appears to be an older model Sony stand called the SU-60DX
for the KF-60DX100:

This might possibly fit the newer model as well, if you like this
style better. I would be very surprised if it did not fit perfectly.
There are a number of manufacturers that also make generic stands that
will work for this Grand Wega since it is designed as a table top
model when not used with the matching stand, though none are
specifically designed for this model.
For example:

http://www.homeaudiosuperstore.com/entertainment-furniture.htm
http://www.bigbangelectronics.com/audio_video_furniture/boltz.asp
http://www.marketware-tech.com/telstanandsw.html
And many more.
Search Strategy:
KF-60XBR800 +stand
sony +"grand wega" +stand -"su-gw1"
"grand wega" +stand -"su-gw1" -sony
I trust my research has confirmed that the SU-GW1 is the current model
for this TV and that there are several excellent alternatives should
you choose. If a link above should fail to work or anything require
further explanation or research, please do post a Request for
Clarification prior to rating the answer and closing the question and
I will be pleased to assist further.
