Knees are shot. Like ice cream too much to loose weight, means the obvious answer is to install a lift.
So, looking at the "reasonable" end of 9K lb, symmetrical lifts, what's the short comings of the following brands?
Cant speak to any specific brand except the one I own (Rotary) which is not one of your listed options. I am very happy with mine, however it was quite a bit more $$ than what you are looking at, and it was installed by a dealer. You may be planning to install it yourself.
They all look similar to me. Are you sure you mean "symmetrical" vs "asymmetrical"?
I don't want to start giving advice if you are already sure about what you want.
