Help me choose a lift

I got the green light to install a lift in our garage during our upcoming renovation. I plan to use it primarily for doubling the parking capacity of our single-car garage, so I'm thinking a four-post will be the best choice. I've heard good things about Greg Smith lifts, but I was hoping to get some recommendations from current lift owners as to the pros/cons of various brands/models. Some pics would be great as well, so let's see 'em...

Garage
I heard good things about Greg Smith as well. I had the green light about a year and a half now and just been researching and preping the garage (raised garage door and added a lift master). Bendpak is good too, but for the price, Greg Smith. I asked someone who bought a Greg Smith and had nothing but good things to say about it. Their website is also very detailed, they even have a checklist.

I don't have a lift at home but I used lift more than several times at a friend shop. If I have a chance to get one for my home use, I think I would go with the 4 post if budget allowed. Why? Because I can do wheels aligment which 2 post or cissor lifts can't do.
