My plan was to get one of these:

Anyone had any experience with them?
I spent a while looking round, before I bought my scissor lift.
I contemplated one of the lifts you linked to, as they are cheap and the youtube videos look impressive. I really liked they flexibility of them and the ease of storage etc. However I also read some stories of threads stripping etc. Assuming you always put extra supports in (axle stands etc.) before going under, it might be viable....I definitely wouldn't trust it alone (same for any lifting device)
I would very careful removing an engine from a car, while its on the tilting lift, as the CG would shift entirely. Not sure how the tilt-lift would respond.
