Figures I missed the group buy so I’m going to be paying the $700+ price. Is it worth it? Other threads say to go with the gobi at this cost.

I just installed mine today. Merry Christmas to me.
I will say that the BajaRack is very sturdy and well made. Beautiful welding, no flaw powder coating etc. Also very sturdy when installed, tying the factory side bars together.
As some have said the factory rack is only "rated" for about 100 lbs. Personally I am convinced that is lawyer speak, along with the weak aluminum and plastic stock cross rails. WIth the new basket rack that whole issue is gone. Installed it is solid as a rock.
Is it worth it?? Depends on what you want to do with it. I would not consider, roof top tents, jerry cans, spare tires, etc. on this setup. Not because of some "load limit"...I think that is too much weight up high on a lifted vehicle regardless of the make.
Wifey and I plan to use it for Max Trac storage, pelican boxes, dry bag storage etc.
Plenty of secure storage for us and what we do. YMMV.
