All my local tire shops use these jacks.
They are around $300 but worth it.
NAPA has their 3.5 ton on sale right now for $199.

That's as good as you're going to get for ~$200, though the HF Super Duty yellow one is fancier and (a rarity for HF) a longer 3 yr warranty.
As far as the $100 jacks, they're pretty similar whether it be arcan or HF or Torin, etc.
80 lbs is not heavy for a jack, unless you just need a 2.5ton or smaller for a small vehicle. Sure you can spend more for aluminum if you think you'll need to carry it around.
One thing notable about HF jacks is they seem to be raising the prices again. Their 3ton $80 is nearly gone, in-store purchase only, with the red painted replacement now at $100 with coupon, and they just raised the prices on their 3 ton Daytonas to $144 before, $120 after coupon. If the trend continues, I wouldn't expect to get the Super Duty 3 ton for much less than $200 after coupon.
