most scissor lift type stuff isn't what I want... they have too limited of a
range of motion, and are very heavy. The thing I am thinking of HP CE's use
regularly nowdays, and you can darn near pick up the thing and put it under
your arm and walk away with it.

THAT is what I want! It's not as light as the HP ones, but it would be
perfect.
