Floor Jack Recommendations?

Any recommendations on a decent jack for 80* or less? I used to have the lowes branded one for forgot who I lent it to. Preferably one that lifts high enough from the front that I can lower it onto the jack stands in one go.

I was looking at some of the harbor freight ones and they look decent: http://www.harborfreight.com/automot...ump-68049.html. coupon brings it to about 84.

Costco has the lightweight ones now, made by ARCAN.

I believe it is $99, though.
