Looks like you've got the CML3 - for the extra £70 to get air & foot it seems worth it (I don't have a compressor but might eventually).

Yes CML3, if you watch Machine Mart they sometimes do VAT free deals so a decent discount.
In the pic you can see I have the chock removed but you can (if you redrill the mounting holes, slightly further apart) get the rear wheel in the chock, meaning you can lift the front whilst the back is held firm.
I've even raised the bike up in this position, tied the front of the frame to the ceiling joist and then lowered the platform to hold the bike in a (stable) 'wheelie' position so that I can remove forks/yokes etc.
Definitely worth an extra £70 for the air option IMO and you can get a small compressor for around that figure plus, a compressor is another must have anyway IMO.
