Is a Saris bones worth the extra over Sentinal?

Looking to get a rear carrier and was set on the Saris Bones 3 however its price tag of £100+ made me do a bit more browsing and I have come across the Saris Sentinel 3 which can be found for £60ish. Anyone got any experience of these? Is the Saris Bones worth the extra?

I have a Saris Bones 3 which has fit every car we've tried fitting to. The Sentinal just doesn't look as solid to me, and if you change your car, chances are the Bones 3 will fit.

How's the old saying go... buy cheap, buy twice.
