With the upcoming sale of my blue plated, SM'd WR450 and my son's XR50R (he's lost interest... no, that's just some sand in my eye!) I'm thinking of taking some of the cash and treating myself to a motorcycle lift (always wanted one).
I started looking at the Princess Auto one;

however for $100 more (the prices aren't accurate on the site) there's the Direct Lift Pro Cycle that gets rave reviews (where the PA one is a bit flimsy in comparison);

That said, I may opt for the "drop tail" model for $25 more which gives a bit more flexibility for friend's machines;

My questions are to those that have them or know about them; what should I be looking at, what other lifts are recommended, is there anything I need to consider, etc...?
I've thought about the MotoMfg stand with wheels for $450 (http://www.motomfg.com/MotoMfg_paddock_stand_for_KTM_p/ps-2.htm) which would be great for its ability to move while in the air, but it would only work for my bike, not friend's, not lawnmowers, etc...
