Default 2 Post lift

Hi all - this is a bit previous as i don't yet have a 75 (just posted a wanted ad for one down below), but i was wondering if any members have got a 2 post lift and could recommend one. I intend to do all my own mechanicals so intend to get one asap as i have the space. There's one by Liftech on ebay that looks interesting and one by Autotech that has some good reviews. Anyone had a good experience with a make..?

2 post car hoists are OK for mechanical things and messing about with the exhaust but the arms make contact with the lifting points on the cills so can be used for cill repairs.
