He has a four post that he uses just for oil changes, a single post for brake work, and the three 2-posts. The two assymetricals allow you to get into the car while it is on the hoist without banging the door on the posts. Handy when bleeding brakes.

That sounds really useful actually. So you've tried all the lift types I've been looking at? Do you think you can throw me some more pros and cons of the 2 poster vs. the 4 poster?

On that note, does anyone have any real life experience with interacting with the Rotary? Such as some details on brand-related things related to lifespan or maybe some technical bugs? I'm just curious because the study in lift design show some pretty unflattering details about the lift itself, which is why I omitted the brand from the choices in the first place, but it seems the others may have their own opinions about the lift.

Thank you!
