costco one is better than that as it doesn't slope, its just low and flat the whole length so you can get further under the car.

weight does bother me as i do track days and carrying a big heavy jack around is a reall pain in the ass
the heavy jacks are ok if your not taking them any where
theres an old saying "you get for what you pay for "
