Wouldn't two be better then one?
I must agree with Kev... I just got one of each.

I'm 6'4" I have had a high roof delica, and now have a low roof. I have plenty of head room. Of course my low roof is still to tall to fit underground, its about 8' tall with the 31's, "canadian lift", roof crate, and Roof tent. But then there is no underground parking up here anyhow!

I've got a full length, full width rack (8 feet long, 50 inch wide) on the CrystalLite roof. Right now it has 4 ammo cases, spare tire, air tank, milk crate and lawn chairs on it. The amazing thing is how little all that blocks the view.

Yes, when I was loading, and any time I'm up there, I do worry very much about dropping something through the glass. So I'm very very careful. If I was carrying something like canoes on a regular basis on normal bars, I would probably opt for the regular high-roof.

As for heights and ferries. When the rack was being built, the fabricator asked how high I wanted it. Given that with nothing on it, my Delica is 7', and my house's carport entrance is 7'2", it wasn't relevant. So we went with 7" to make room for the taillights. The rack by itself puts the height at 7'10" (2.4 m). To the top of the CB antenna is 12'02" (3.8 m), which is taller than the top of the CB antenna of the trucker I was talking to last week which gave us both a chuckle.
