I have the Advantage lift also & love it. Lift weighs around 2200 lbs. Add to that a 4200 lb CT5 = 6600. Some SUVs / HD pickups weigh that much and the 4 "contact patches" of the lift (1 sq') are larger than the 4 "contact patches" of those vehicles.
Bottom line: If you could park one of those heavy vehicles in your garage without it breaking through the floor, then no problem for the lift & car. Understand though, it is rated for 9000 lbs so if you were planning to get close to THAT weight (+ the 2200 lift) be more concerned about the floor strength.
I recently also got their rolling jack so it;s easy to raise the car off the lift platform for wheel removal.
A 2 post lift certainly requires a stronger floor, But I don't like the concept of those posts right next to the doors every time you get in / out of the car.
The bay I have the lift in is used to store a Miata over the winter on the lift but daily parking a car under it year round.
