I have a two post lift and it really doesn't get a whole lot of use, just because it can be time consuming to get a car on the lift to do a quick job. My boss sits 3.5"s off the ground at the rockers and it easily takes 30-45 minutes to get it on my lift and I've done it several times so when it comes to doing oil changes and even small suspension and exhaust work is just done on jack stands and the ground cuz it's quicker. If I could build my shop over again I'd put my lift and bay doors in another way or even pour a slab to put the lift outside to save floor space. Lifts are nice but definitely have their drawbacks.

I understand what you are saying about the lift. I agree with the space vs usage consideration. Last weekend I really could have used a lift when pulling the trans out of my car on the jack stands. I'm hoping the portable lift is a good mix to use when I need it.
I closed on the house/shop yesterday. The seller is leasing back for the next month or so. Hopefully soon I'll be in there and able to start getting things planned out. I asked him if he wanted to leave his vertical CNC burntable and for some reason he wanted to take it with him....what a jerk...
