Definitely horses for courses. The 2 bike horizontal Yakima on the wife’s pathfinder is a far more practical option for her.I prefer mine horizontal, or at least close, whatever floats your boat but the surgery sounds expensive.
When you say close, do you mean close to the car, or am I misreading that? My 5 bike vertical keeps the bikes a lot closer in than her 2 bike horizontal (and 1/2 the distance of our previous 4 bike horizontal....in hindsight, barely legal on a shorter vehicle in some states). Ignore if I’ve misread.
