Transport stage, altering standpoints (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vantages

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'standpoints' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.

'transport stage altering' is the wordplay.
'transport' becomes 'van' (van is a kind of transport).
'altering' indicates anagramming the letters.
'stage' with letters rearranged gives 'tages'.
'van'+'tages'='VANTAGES'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for vantages that I've seen is " Benefits after deuces on court".)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
