Default 4-Post Auto Lifts Recommendation

I am shopping for a 4-post garage lift. There appears to almost a dozen name brands out there. Some of them almost seem identical. Does anyone have a recommendation from personal experience.

I've got a Rotary brand lift. They are made in Madison IN. 1-800-445-5438
I bought mine brand new at a school auction. Sad story. The teacher got sick and they had to close the class. No one to take over auto shop. :sad:
I didn't like the situation, but the stuff all went to auction regardless. The lift never got used. Anyway, I gave $2000 plus $600 auction fee. It's a 12,000 lb
lift which is more than I'll need, but I couldn't pass it up. It's huge! By the way, I paid another $300 to have a guy tear it down, move it, and set it up.
Thought I'd give you all the numbers. P.S. my garage has 10' side walls.
:seeya
