There is a 1/4" steel tray that bridges the two long ramps and I have a $30 Walmart small floor jack that fits in there perfectly to raise whatever I can't do using it on the the ramps. A little more work than a 2-post, but it doubles as a storage device in my garage with the 10 foot ceiling.
On the jack stands, try to find some that aren't the sheet metal ones. The steel units cost more, support more, and are a bit safer to put your vulnerable body under that heavy car.

If I stored my car above my other car, I'd be having to constantly wipe oil/fluid droolage off the lower car.
I want a lift...that would be so awesome. I've managed so far though.
