I've had mine installed for 6 months now and I'm really happy I made the purchase. The install was easy enough, I only had one issue putting everything together (put a bracket on the wrong side) so when all the pieces can together it was lopsided (easy fix).
I had the rhinorack before, and can't tell a difference in terms of wind noise. I have the baja lights in the scenepods, but haven't wired them up. I originally thought the handles were "too much" in terms of aesthetics and was not going to install them, but I'm glad I did because they are so helpful. I've had a lot of comments from others, passengers, etc. saying how much it easier it was to get it/get stuff off of the roof. The install however, is really tricky to get them right, so having the right tools is highly recommended.
The rack is massive, which is the main reason I went with them over competitors. The "pressure foot" being so far up front is great for any extra weight. The only real con I can think of is there's no slot to drop in a track nut, you would have to take to bar off or use their own "tracNUT" which rolls in. The tracNUT was a different thread than I used previously, so I had to take everything off the room and take the load bar out.
