So are you spending 2000 bucks on a rack for functionality or "bam" factor?
Personally I added my Gobi for functionality both with my rag top and hard top. But to each his own.

Reasons:
- There are more configurations. - Comes with easy to use bolts and lots of points to attach a basket tent.
- I prefer how it connects to the tub. I think it will hold more weight.
- You don't become limited in bumper choices (i like the AEV rear bumper).
- The down tubes can become useful mounting points.
- I prefer the position of the available light bar over the mounting points on the Gobi.
- The modular front section can be a selling point, but I would probably never remove it.
I believe these are functional arguments, not fashionable.
I did not particularly enjoy installing it. Measure at least 2 times! I measured 3-4 times per drill. One thing I prefer about the Gobi is the available ladder. The restriction on rear bumper choices was the deal breaker for me. Whatever you choose, enjoy your adventures with it.

I like the looks of the MBRP rack as well. It seems to be beefier and I like the mounting brackets on the inside of the top. Price is a little steep, but you do get what you pay for. If you get one please post a thread and let us know how it installed and if your happy.
