Cargo Rack Bimini Questions

I am looking to upgrade the bimini on my 2003 VLX and am considering a cargo rack. I have read that most anyone who has one would not get another boat without it. That being said, I know that Z5 makes a quality rack and Monster Tower just came out with one (I have no info. whatsoever on it).

So, my questions are:

1) Are there any other ones to consider?

2) Even though the MT is more a price point rack is it at least somewhat comparable to the Z5?

3) Have any of you put/seen one on an older boat? (pictures would be great if so)

Thanks in advance for all your help!

Monster cargo rack is very functional but very "basic" looking. Z-5 is the cat's pajamas for sure and has great styling/lines and IMO is built better.

I've got the MT one on my boat and I really like it, I have the smaller size (was on my older, smaller boat) and would probably go with the larger one if I were you but it is a solid structure. Was pretty easy to put together, and I've kept surf boards and a few wakeboards on it at the same time. I tow with it alot too, between 50 and 60 mph and have never had trouble with it, but I think it has alot to do with how you install it
