Default $1500 china lift or $2500 bendpak lift??

Getting ready to order a lift in the next couple weeks. I will be getting a two post setup. I'm just looking for feedback on what everyone has and how they like it. Is the bendpak worth the extra grand? This will just be in my garage and not a high use shop or anything.

Im goin to be going with a directlift brand HR8000/OH8000. Do you want an overhead beam or a clear roof one?

I know there is a member in NJ who bought the HR for his garage, said he loves it. I think I'd buy the OH personally.

I used a bendpak last weekend, very nice piece. We have a Backyard Buddy roll on. It has removable casters so you can move the lift up, down, around, ect where you want it which is nice in our large shop. That is just in addidion to the 5 two post lifts

I have a Chinese made Direct Lift, and think it's great for working on you own personal projects. THey advertise it as their "commercial" lift, but I don't think so. We also have a #20,000 Bend Pak, and THAT'S a commerical lift! But.. the direct lift is great for my needs on my car, and truck.
