SInce there is only one guy here with the rack he will honestly have to answer your question.
I see two rails and a tray. By tie down points are you referring to lack of round tube to tie rope or straps off of?
What is it your trying to haul on the roof?
I think you can answer those questions yourself. I see this as a low profile full length rack that is adjustable to suit a persons needs. Sure, it's not a solid expanded metal rack but it isn't designed to haul like that either. Mounts can be added by drilling holes where you need as well as adding in eyelets for tie down points from what I can see in the pictures. Maybe there is enough of a lip to slide under some ratchet straps, who knows.
I know I will be able to put my tools up there with some quick fists and my chain saw/fuel and some other light gear I don't want inside. I'm not going on month long safaris so a full mesh rack for me, is overkill.
I see this as a better setup than factory rails and strong as well. Add one more tray and you get more real estate if that is what your after. I don't think this is a direct competitor to Gobi or Baja racks, but an option for those who don't need so much rack and some modular ability. I see the prinsu as a similar competitor myself. You will honest not know until some is us get the racks and get real experience with them.
Hope that helps, at least my opinion and theory behind it.
