It was down to the INNO Shadow 15 and this Thule Hyper XL. I liked the sleek look from the INNO one but I needed the space so the Thule was the next best looking one.
After 4 months with box on, I am glad I got the Hyper XL. You can haul a lot of gear. A LOT!!! I have the box centered on the roof as you have access from both sides. The interior of the box is lit so night time access is a breeze. As to MPG...I've noticed maybe a 10% difference, if less. I have this set up on Thule Aeroblades crossbars (VERY KEY as it's low profile) and for a bigger box, this one is pretty aerodynamic. Nice thing about the box is the mounting system is 4 claws...easy one easy off.
