We are going to give access to the spare while trying our best to avoid any cutting on the interior, where as the Alutec doesn't. I also checked the shipping on the Alutec, and it was $30, which resulted in the total being $150; the same as our brace currently.
The same point of spare access can be made for the Ultra Racing brace too. As far as the 4 point bracing, that is superior, but it only utilizes 2 of the 4 bolts in the rear.
Ultra doesn't list any of the materials that they are using, but I believe our brace will be stronger/thicker than theirs. I've talked with a few people who make braces, and my father who is a machinist, and they said that 11 gauge tubing is pretty substantial for the brace.
