Some of what has been being said in this thread is nothing but a bunch of rash generalizations. If you look into Industry... you will see numerous instances of scissor lifts being used, because they are good at what they do. some mechanisms are better than others at certain tasks, It all depends on the application.
You can't just say: "Scissor lifts aren't good because they haven't been made to work yet. They will always be inferior. " It doesn't work that way.

Funny you chose this picture... I was going to post how our team used a scissor lift in our rookie year and we found it easy to build and easy to use. It was fairly light & worked well enough. We connected across the joints with surgical tubing to give it that "spring" you talk about. The lift is still together but not attached to the base. Arms can be a challange.
