I purchased the fixture and would not go any other way. It holds the engine very well. I also purchased my standard stand from a local NAPA store and the porsche fixture fit right in it. One thing to note however. I am currently waiting for my new stand to arive. It is an OTC 2012. The nice thing about this stand is that it has a U shaped bottom (two legs) and is low to the ground. With this set up I will be able to roll my floor jack right under the complete engine and lift it off the stand and into the car without a crane. I will let you know how it works out. I just hope that the stand will except the Porsche fixture without modification.
