Default Pit Lift vs. Kwiklift

Does anyone have any experience with the Pit Lift? -

Wouldn't this be better than the kwiklift - www.kwiklift.com - since you can work on wheels and brakes, etc and there is no hassle about driving on ramps and jacking and driving on it when not using it?

If you were going to be doing a lot of brake work the Pit Lift is probably better. That being said I love my Kwiklift but I am mostly doing detailing and oil changes. No worry about ground clearance and I park on it daily in the upright position. I usually won't bother jacking the back up for detailing either, just for oil changes since it has to be level. Perfect height for detailing IMHO.

I don't trust the stability of those units.

Not sure how that one lifts, looks like framerails. Not sure I want to do that. I think I have seen some pics on here of a couple of people that have it, bu can't remember. KwitLift looks like it would be a little cheaper with the second liftbridge. Hopefully someone will chime in as I am about to get a Kwiklift. Want to make sure I look at all my options.
