If I were doing it again, I'd do the upgraded stairs. Still wouldn't store anything else. It's really awkward to get stuff in and out, and kind of dangerous as well, and we're still relatively young (62) and active. Still takes 2 of us to get things up and down. I would never recommend going up there when you are alone. If you live alone, good idea to ask a friend/neighbor to stand below to hand things to.
You will probably find that you devise ingenious ways to store other stuff in your garage. Our beach chairs hang on a hook, as do bikes and garden tools.

What are you reffering to by upgraded stairs? circular or regular stairs built going into garage. Later would take up much space.
Did you upgrade the vents to motorized?
Have pull down stairs in Apartment in Germany, put suitcase up there, when my parents lived, my father, some how, put a door up there. All holding up along with boxes and my mothers flower pots. Of course, not hot much over there.
On-line I see motorized elevators for carrying boxes, looking into getting one of those when we finally empty our house in MD. Got first, small POD almost full. Putting Christmas, Easter, Halloween decorations in it, then will have it delivered after I build shelves in garage.
Can't list the house till we empty it says the Realtor.
