Wink Need opinions: Rollbar vs Harness Bar

I would like to solicit some opinions concerning the use of a rollber vs. the use of a harness bar as shown below. Since the chance of rollover is pretty slight under my circumstances and in my opinion, It seems the harness bar makes more sense since it is very easily removed allowing the use of the rear seats. I am planning on either Porsche (Recaro) GT3 or Recaro Pole Position seats as shown in my previous post <a href="http://forums.rennlist.com/forums/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=6;t=002423." target="_blank">http://forums.rennlist.com/forums/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=6;t=002423.</a>

Rollbar....Harness bar is not very useful. Besides, it looks ugely how you have to have the carpet and Bose sub removed exposing that metal under them!!

Guys,
Actually, the photo of the harness mount is not entirely accurate for Bose subwoofer equipped cars. The cabriolet version is the one that is used in those applications. Take a look at Figure 11 in this pdf link. It is the true model to be used.

The rear seats do not require removal. The harness bar attahces to the rear seatbelt connections and the front seatbelt anchor points just like a rollbar. Now what do you think?

I just recently put that roll bar in. Way more useful. Rear seats are overated. Sod them.

So, what's the price of the rollbar and the harnesses ordinarily? (i'm already lined up on the seats...)
