Looks like all the pros and cons of two posters and four posters have been pretty much covered. Like most things, I think it boils down to personal preference. I certainly do like the two poster for suspension and brake work - not having ramps in the way is very convenient. Two posters can be made to be very stable, it just takes a little more work and planning than a four poster (which can be pretty much just assembled and set on the garage floor). A thick slab with appropriate length concrete bolts and some top bracing will make a good quality two post very stable. The top bracing can be easily tied into a roof beam or steel rods can be used, it's not difficult, but again, it does take some engineering and time over the four post. I'll post a couple pics of my two and four post lifts.
