A friend of mine has an engine stand similar to those. And I've used my dads which is a somwhat different design in the legs and seems to be a little more stable. It looks a little more like my high-quality photoshop rendering below.

That standis plenty good. Advance Auto Parts sells a 750 lbs stand, which is still enough, for $40 if you are interested. They also sell a 1000 lbs stand for the same price of what your are looking at.

Whatever way you go, you do >not< want the 3 legged version. I've seen first hand what happens when things go south.
Get the 4 legged stand. You'll thank yourself in the long run.
