Two thoughts:

They may look similar, but without a doubt the Bendpak unit will be the much better quality one.

Those kinds of lifts are only good for wheel/tire/brake work, and some suspension. For a bit more you can get a four post lift with a jack tray, which gives you unlimited access to the underside of the car as well as the plus of being able to stand up underneath it.

That's my next big purchase for my newly-completed shop.
