I was just about to post the same. Look at the welds on the cross members on the Craftsman compared to the solid member of the Pittsburgh, which would you trust more. If one of those welds give on the Craftsman it will flatten like a pancake. Well worth the extra couple of bucks for the Harbor's. I would even suggest springing for the 6-ton or 12-ton, that way you are set for nearly anything, weight wise. Especially if you have big trucks/SUV's, RV's, etc..
My opinion, but generally I would use the following when choosing the correct weight class for your stands
Compact Cars- 2 Ton
Cars/Compact SUV's- 3 Ton
SUV/Half Ton Trucks- 6 Ton
RV/ 3/4 Ton or Larger- 12 Ton
Semi/Fleet - 25 Ton
Great minds think alike. I've own the Sears. Soooo many welds...
Got rid of them and the 2 1/4 ton jack they came with.

Though I understand the psychology behind having stronger stands than actually needed, the caution I have when moving up to 3 or 4 ton sets is that they also get bigger so space under the vehicle will be more limited and their minimum height is taller making it more difficult to get the vehicle jacked high enough to properly place them under your car's recommended support points unless you have a large jack.
