Anyone have experience with an Thule Atlantis 1600? Judging from this info... Thule 686 Atlantis 1600 Silver - Thule Cargo Boxes Thule continues to set the standard in box design, with the Thule 686 Atlantis 1600. The Thule Atlantis is offered in four NEW sizes and two colors. The Atlantis is designed to fit today's most popular vehicles with more choices than ever. Carry 16 cu ft of gear and still manage to fit your car into the garage Dimensions: 74 in. x 36 in. x 16.3 in. Eye-catching styling compliments the aerodynamic lines of today’s new car designs New QuickGrip mounting system comes pre-installed, you’ll be on the road in seconds Improved locking system features a user-friendly, padded key and readable decal As always, our built-in safety feature means the key can only be removed when box is fully closed Access gear from either side using the patented dual-side opening feature Requires a minimum bar spacing of 23.5 inches and allows a maximum of 34 inches for mounting My experience would lead me to select this box. It has a quick latch system for easy install It has the shorter grip at 23.5 in which should work with the 400h rack without modification It comes in silver to reduce heat buildup It opens from either side It short and wide like the SpaceCadet so you can open the rear hatch while it's on top I'd say get it.

I ordered a full black as I have a White RX400H and did not want the mixture of colors...
