if you're looking for a little more overhead room in the middle of the garage, a quieter opener, and probably a faster one than those old genie units, you should check out the 8500W from LiftMaster (or the RJO70 from chamberlain, it's the same unit). It's called a residential jackshaft opener, and it attaches in the corner of the garage to the wall (not the ceiling!) and couples directly to the shaft that has the garage spring on it. there's no need for the rail connecting the opener overhead in the center of the garage, and you get lots more room!
