You could also look into an OR-fab stubby with hoop! I think it's the same price, or even less

Same setup and This is EXACTLY what I did! I didn't want to cut my dash for 1 switch. And it's pretty easy to switch the lights on.

You already know all the pro's to this bumper, you don't need anyone to hold your hand, just go buy it...

Look at a Hanson Stubby (forum sponsor). I have one and the factory fogs can be installed right into it. I am not sure about any aftermarket fogs!

I liked the XRC bumper for the same reasons as you and was REALLY close to getting it. Then I saw PSC's new Brawler Lite bumper.

M.O.R.E. makes a real nice stubby that includes provisions form mounting the factory fogs, winch mount, d-ring mounts, hoop and integrated skid. They are also on sale this month. I just ordered one myself. They are painting it crinkle coat for me as well. Fair price IMO for a good looking stubby.
