I recently sold/shipped my 450SL to a guy in Germany; he didn't want the winch lift - basically new.

Compared to other hardtop hoist lifts the EZ Lift is a superior product and is truly an easy one person operation. Compare to Mercedes SL Brake Winch Hoist Brake Winch System, complete with harness Reg: $402.00 Sale: $319.00 http://www.hoistlifts.com/mercedes.htm

There are local truck camper supply outlet that sell a similar product in the $300-$400 price range, but they can't beat the EZ-Lift for price or performace.
