I am leaning more towards the AEV system purely because I want to eventually get a rooftop tent and this will support it easily.
My only concern is the height. I'm already at 195 cm's with a 3.5" lift on 33's. My underground car park at my unit is silly low, I just about fit and with the extra height I won't get underneath. Nor will I get in most Sydney public car parks!
Oh the woe's

Are you planing on moving?
Rooftop tents are not conducive to underground parking arrangements, they are heavy, cumbersome and a pain to shift and fit unless you have a garage you can rig a cradle for or half a rugby team at your disposal.
The last thing I would want to be doing for a weekend away is trying to arrange help to get a rooftop tent on and then getting it off when you get back from a camping trip... nope
If your not going to be able to use it for short trips is it really worth it? I guess if you do a lot of extended touring it could work.
Not trying to put you off the AEV rack it looks awesome but man that and the rooftop tent is a lot of expence and I would be wanting to get my money's worth of use out of it.
