Fair point, but the 1up rack I'm talking about, like a Kuat or other quality hitch rack isn't really the same thing as the cheap stuff. I've always run a roof rack on my cars, but prefer my friends hitch racks.

I've also scratched up bikes on roof racks, trying to fit bikes in tightly will always allow for that, but a good hitch rack has fixed spacing. Not saying it will accommodate two Pugsleys with 30" wide bars necessarily, but they're better than a crowded roof rack. Each solution has it's compromises though. If you are running sag and need ten bikes on one car, roof all the way, as hitch racks really get stupidly long with more than four bikes at once.
