Default Thinking about a Thule AeroBlade rack, any better options for the price?

I am looking for a rack to carry my paddle board and eventually maybe a kayak or bikes. I want something that can be removed fairly easily and isnt too expensive. The Thule 300R gutterfoot and AeroBlade combo looks like a good setup, but it is a little pricey. Anybody have that setup and care to chime in? Or have a different setup that I should take a look at?

Here is the setup I'm referring to:

I've done the Thule square bars, the old aeroblade style and the new. The style in the video you posted is the only one that I've had that whistled while driving. I went to Thule's square bars and never looked back. I have two sets of load bars for the jeep (hard top and no top) and a set on the GTI. No whistling, everything mounts up the same, very satisfying. I don't have any gutter feet, but I haven't been disappointed yet with anything from Thule which is why I don't mind spending the little extra.
