I got Charley and I one for about $500 each or so. Not that brand though, but looks and works the same.

I know the 2 post lifts are popular when wheel/tires have to come off, but the advantage of a 4 post to me is:

simply driving it on the lift and immediately lifting (no setting the arms like a 2 post)

ground clearance; sometimes a real low car has to be jacked up just to let the arms get under the lift

much more stable, never seen a car fall off a 4 post but have seen several fall off or partly off a 2 post

moveable, which is nice when you want to steam clean the bottom of your car or need the floor space for some temporary reason

with that jack I bought I can get the wheels off just as fast for brake jobs, etc. as a two post in my opinion

they both have plusses and minuses, but I've worked under two posts a lot, and having the car rocking around gets your attention sometimes....
