    They maybe equally useful, but if you put your back out or harm your disabled passenger getting in or out, it's an expensive bauble. Sadly I learnt late when my own departed mother was disabled how much strain of both parties. My own vanity...

    The F2 is about the same length and height as F1, but quite a bit wider, significantly heavier and significantly more powerful.
