Quickjack is useful for doing 4 wheel rotation, any moderate suspension work involving all 4 wheels, any front engine work, or even just storing the car in an off-the-ground state for an extended period of time.
So are jack stands and a floor jack. I'd take a quickjack for anything that doesn't have specified center jack points, sure. But the twins have center jack points so lifting them with a floor jack is pretty easy. I suppose a quickjack would be useful if I didn't have room to pump a floor jack, but then where are you storing the quickjack? And I can use the same floor jack for other stuff if I need to, even while the car is on stands.
