WTF is going on in this thread? The OP got a crazy price on a lift and was venting. Nothing more. I know it’s crazy because I just had a Rotary installed for less money.
$10k is bonkers. My delivery was included in the price and install was $895. Have you used the distributor locator on the Rotary site? I see the below company nearby and several others in Phoenix.

To me, the benefit of the semi-deep is that it will cover most of what a standard or deep will do so you only need to carry one set instead of two. I’ve never been in a place where a semi-deep 1/2” was the only solution.
I recently had a Rotary lift installed. I got quotes from a couple of places and the prices were very close to what you see online. You can use Derek Weaver for a baseline. Installation was $850-$895. I don’t know what the concrete work would cost.
