Cheapest place to buy an engine hoist?

[Jarvis]

Don't really need more than a 1,000lb lifting capability, but don't want one that can't handle a good deal of weight (~500lbs) at it's weakest setting (highest arm angle/height/reach).

I found a few online stores that sell them, I was just wondering if anyone knew a specific place to get one and what model.

Thanks

Anyone know from experience if any of these are worth buying?:

I have looked at a few models at Sam's. All were made to pull big V8 engines and looked well up to the task of pulling any BMW or Toyota engine I might deal with.
