Hardtop Hoist

So...Has anyone used one of these? If so, do you like it? I'm trying to decide if I want to go with buying a hardtop stand and cover, or a cover and hoist system. I have room in the garage for either. One reason to go with a hoist is the ability to remove the hardtop myself but on the other hand, I think once it's off, I'll probably never put it back on. The car is earmarked to be used for fair weather driving only.

Is it a six of one, half dozen of the other kinda thing?

Thanks for your input. I'll have lots more questions to come. Just let me know if I'm being too mouthy.

If you have any questions let me know. I will be moving the hoist as I don't like the way it is centered. Want to move it about 18 inches.
