4-Post Lift

Hi everyone -

Most of you know that I have a house with several garages... That is an awesome luxury - But - with the recent E23 purchase, I have now exceeded how many cars I can house inside them. The only thing that works in my favor (storage wise) is the E9 is in California being worked on - but, when that car comes back in the summer - I'll need to do something...

Anyone have experiences with 4-post lifts? Recommendations? Or ones to stay away from?

I will not need a HD one (or a large one) as I don't plan on putting any trucks on it - just ~ 4,000 lb (max) cars....
The garage space I am considering also is a bit narrow and has 120V only. So, those are considerations as well. I may need to also do some work on the building to reconfigure a beam that cuts across the middle of the bay (to increase headroom) - but that is another story.

I have seen a few lifts online - and will talk to a couple of friends locally that (I think) have them, but thought I'd see what ideas you all might have for this.
