Yakima does have a larger 20 box as well. i dislike the push button unlock of the showcase and would prefer the lever style unlock.
My car is lifted and with the box it does not clear 7'7 garages so keep that in mind.
The thule use a different style locking system and seems easier to use.
Go to etrailer.com and they have videos and reviews of boxes. very nice to help decide what you want.

The factory rack is short. Go to REI if you have one and test fit. Many standard boxes will interfere with the rear spoiler when opening the lift gate. I put thule crossroad adapter and bars above the rack to get a bit more height.
