Default Roof Rack options. Backbone kit any good?

I'm looking to install roof racks on the JK's Fibreglass hardtop and would really like to avoid the complete system with bars running down to the body/chassis.

I'm liking the idea of the Rhino backbone system and was wondering if anyone had any good or bad experience with it.

With the 3 bars installed, its good for 120kg, or with 2 bars 100kg, I don't plan to ever exceed or even come too close to these figures. It'd basically be used for camp chairs, the tent (not rooftop, just the tent itself), stretcher beds etc all the bulky stuff thats not too heavy but takes up too much room in the cabin.

Is this the only real option for me? It does seem quite expensive for what you get, I'm estimating the backbone system and 3 bars is around $1000.
