As far as I remember this has been discussed before, and the advice that has been given is to get a used Porsche (944 or the like) scissor jack. No personal experience, but they are said to be very light, reliable and easy to use - as opposed to the quite bad OEM jack. Plenty on e-bay. This is for roadside use of course, in the garage is another matter.
I use an aluminium (lightweight) trolley jack and axle stands when working at home.
Based on recommendations onTM, I did purchase one of the Porsche jacks to carry in the car.It is superbly made and quite light weight compared to the MMC original (on the Aero8).

Even though it was 'pre-loved' (from eBay) ,mine also came with the expanded foam holder which, sadly, I couldn't get to fit - but you may be able to on a trad.?
