Question any reason I should NOT buy this lift?

After much research, I am seriously considering this lift for my garage:

<a href="http://www.werther.com/auto/lifts/duplex.html" target="_blank">http://www.werther.com/auto/lifts/duplex.html</a>

Not a 4 post, not a 2 post, but a ONE post lift.

Anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks.

This is just for storage space, right? It seems it would be difficult to work on a car with this lift. But if it is just for storage, it is REALLY nice. Good Luck with it.

PS. a '01 TT and a '94 RSA???

Do we know each other? I am John Murray from Ira Porsche in Danvers, MA. I do all the DE's for NER and NCR.

John,
Yes, we did meet last year at a private track day at NHIS. I had my TT there. I'm the guy who designed the audio amp for Bose in all the Porsche models.
It was the Lapis Blue one, purchased from Rick at Ira (Rick lives next door to my Dad's house).
Picked up the RSA (midnight blue metallic) so the TT can go back to garage queen status!
I'm signed up for NHIS, BeaveRun and Watkins Glen with NER, NHIS(Aug) and Limerock with NCR.
Hope to see you there.

Ed,
this one is interesting:

<a href="http://www.e-autolifts.com/pl/pl.html" target="_blank">http://www.e-autolifts.com/pl/pl.html</a>

Single post lift, made by Bend-Pak (reputable lift company) and 40% less than the Werther unit.
