Just my opinion of course, but aesthetically, there is nothing out there that gets close to touching them. That may be a consequence of them being *******s and sending C&D's to similar competitors, but nonetheless, it is what it is.

So in that regard, when I purchased one, it "justified" it in a completely subjective way. Add on to the fact that they really are great quality and have a lot of great (albeit, expensive) features.

So are they ethically questionable and have terrible customer service? Yeah pretty much. But when I look at every other rack and compare looks and quality, I just held my nose and considered it worth it.

Plus they don't charge you till it ships so it helped give me a few months to save up a little extra cash so it didn't sting so badly.
