    I haven’t had any wind noise as of yet. I’ve driven it on highways and at high speeds you don’t hear a peep.

    None so far
    How is the wind comparison from either? Did you have to purchase more items to make zero wind noise?

    I went with the basic Prinsu cap rack when they had a deal going. They all seemed to use the same aluminum extrusions with variations only in the laser/water-jet cut end-plates. One thing that sucked with Prinsu is the lack of any adjustment in the mounting feet to follow the cap curve. I had to spend extra for Sherpa's which would have been a deal breaker if I had known.

    I have zero wind noise from the Uptop. They claim their fairing design is specifically intended to eliminate wind noise.

    I went with Prinsu due to slightly lower profile. Garage clearance is a concern. It's held up very well. If I didn't have garage clearance issues I would have gone with uptop.

    What's the difference in height? I'd be shocked if there's much. On both racks the cross bars sit pretty damn close to the roof.

    I'm going to be in the market for either the Prinsu or Up Top Bravo probably next month. Right now I'm really leaning towards the Up Top Bravo with a set of Scene pods and Baja Designs Rock lights. Any upcoming deals to look out for? Maybe Black Friday? Cyber Monday? Other?

    The most common uptop deal I've seen lately is a free set of mounts with purchase of the rack. I just received mine a month back. I got an awning mount for free.

    Unless I'm mistaken, I thought I saw on their website the bravo rack was $100 less then what it's listed for now. Its probably been a couple months...maybe. I could be crazy (tends to happen from time to time), but was wondering if that happens at certain times. I was first starting to look at racks and didn't realize at the time that it wasn't the normal price and should have jumped on it when I saw it.

    I think all of the manufacturers increased their prices recently. The sale that drove me to suck it up and order mine was called something that hinted @ an upcoming increase, and Prinsu had just increased their prices st that time.

    I just saw that too. Well here's to wish full thinking. If anyone sees a deal send it my way.
