Default Best 4 post lift? What do you have?

I am going to be in the market for a good, safe 4 post lift. I will be mainly using it to store a truck on. Can you guys post what lift you have, if your happy with it and the price? Oh and dangerous ones to avoid would be nice too.
Thanks

Here's some insight:

If you're just storing and want parking below if you have the ceiling height a 4 post is perfect.

Thanks, ceiling height isn't a issue I have a 40x50 shop and I'm running out of room.

We had a Rotary and it worked flawlessly. I have seen a few of them cheaper ones and they scare me.

My exhaust guy has a Bend Pack and it looks sturdy.

I just researched this Tony as a I just bought one myself. Mine is from a company called Danmar (Commander 7000). It's considered more of a hobby lift. I was going to get one from Bendpak but was sold on this one. Was a little less money and runs on a reg 120v outlet not a 220v like most others. It was also black not blue. All the bendpaks come in blue only. The Bendpaks are nicer from what I gather and they have quite a few models to choose from. The one I was going to get was the HD9ST since my space was a tight fit.

I just bought a new (to me) house and got a Superlift in the deal with the 40'x60' shop. Don't know much about it other than it looks pretty sturdy and it runs on 110. They are a local company and they have 2 different series of lifts from what I understand, a Chinese one and a USA one, this is the USA one.

Tony, I got mine from this site. http://www.babco.ca/Automotive-Equip...our-Post-Lifts It shows all the prices for the different models when you click on them. The prices are listed in Canadian funds, so they should cost a little less in USD.

The price ranges I looked at were around $3-4k range taxes and installed.
