In my opinion HF is as good as any. Many of the rental places have them even. If I had any knock on them, it would be that their capacities are inflated and probably shouldn't be tested.

For me, the storage problem and initial cost was a factor and the fact that I would only be doing this one time made renting a better option. Out and in on seperate weekends was about $140 total. If you have lots of space and/or you will be yanking engines fairly often, it is useless to rent each time.
