djroberts,
The kwiklift is a very nice lift! You can't beat it for the money. It allows unobstructed access to underneath the vehicle, unlike most low and mid-rise lifts. Those types of lifts do make it easier to get the wheels off but they do not offer the unobstructed access underneath that the kwiklift does. With the centerbridge you can jack up the car and place blocks/stands at the pucks so the tires will raise off of the ramps and can be removed.

I have to say there is not that much difference between many of the lifts... It came done to who I was dealing with as much as anything.

It's about twice what a Kwiklift is but you get more than twice the value.... for me, it was mainly about parking. Ease of working on ANY vehicle now is the BONUS!!

With the kwiklift you do not have the storage/parking capability that you have with a 4 post lift but they are not as portable either. Some of the 4 posts lifts are available with casters but they are much heavier and you also have the height to consider. Both types of lifts are good for their uses, it just depends on how you intend to use it the most.

I decided on the kwik-lift also,but mostly because of height restrictions.
If you have no issue with ceiling height and can use a four post for parking also,by all means that's a great lift.
As for me,you can add me to the list. The kwik-lift gets 'er done
