Prospeed, UPOL Raptor - Worth it?

In the market for a roof rack and whittled it down to either the Prospeed or the Front Runner (Slimline II)...

Edging closer to the Prospeed but the question is - With regards the Prospeed is it worth going for the UPOL Raptor coating over the standard (black gloss powder coat)?

Also looking for opinions on both the racks. Will be used for kayaks, luggage, bikes etc. Will also be investing in a roof tent in the future.

Ta in advance

Next time my sliders need doing, I'll be getting them line-x'd or raptor coated rather than powder coated again.

Sliders. Sump guard, compressor guard & wheels all Raptored. Rack & ladder next to do..
Prefer it to Line-X which is rougher textured (though you can alter Raptor if applying with a gun).
Well worth doing IMHO though takes around a week to cure properly compared to seconds with Line-X.
