Oh, it certainly has been, not sure how much so on this list...the
following is my take, and I'm currently shopping for a 4-post for the
garage (and maybe I might put a used 2-post on the concrete pad behind
the garage someday for occasional use.)
2-post is great for service when you don't need the car sitting on its
wheels e.g. alignment, I would not use one for parking purposes because
I wouldn't want to hang the suspension at full-droop for prolonged
periods (for the same reason you tighten suspension bushings with the
vehicle at normal ride height) and it's also (relatively speaking) a
PITA to get vehicles on and off.
4-post not as convenient for most service purposes (except insofar as
it's easier to drive on/off) but may not have to be bolted down,
preferable for parking, not as commonly found used/cheap (and most that
are tend to be awfully big for residential garage use.)
John.
