But then again, age is getting to knees and back my days of wrenching on anything is running short.

There are good reasons for both a two post lift and a four post, but worrying about a "flimsy frame" is certainly not a concern when using a two post. My Town Sedan is very solid on my Bend Pak two post. As mitch said, proper and careful positioning of the pads as they are brought up to the frame is critical, as they must clear brake rods etc. But working on a car on a two post is so much easier that using a four post for almost any repair task.
