I have no idea what commercial unit would cost.

I have sent a request to Easy Climber for an elevator to be put in a "spare
room" to go down to the basement.  Other than the floor space, the only
thing I would lose is a cold-air-return that I don't think is all that
useful anyway.

I have seen some folks build their own stuff on youtube.  If I was to build
my own, I'd do it in a closet to serve the basement, 1st floor, and attic.
Getting resistance from the mobility-limited person.

Another option might be to troll realtor.com for houses for sale in your 
area and make note of any that have stair lifts.  I've seen a handful 
come across my area in the last 3-4 months.

A lot of buyers may be uninterested in a lift (face it, they take up 
space on the stairway) so they may be willing to part with it for cheap 
versus them having to disassemble and dispose.  You could ask the 
seller's real estate agent to put you in contact with the eventual buyer 
so that you can make an offer to buy and remove the lift from the 
premises.  I would naively imagine that it wouldn't be terribly 
difficult to adapt a lift from one house to another.

Phil,
Before I retired, Inclinator in Harrisburg PA was one of my customers.
Their home elevators had a good reputation for quality and they had
installation dealers around the country. You should be able to get a phone
estimate from one of them. There's a lot of home elevator info on their
website.
