I am very satisfied with how the installation turned out. The angle of the harness is much better and the design keeps the reels above the headliner, below the fabric and out of the way of the passenger's skulls! It also keeps the webbing off of the back of my neck, which I find very annoying! Also. the consensus is if I am in a mishap where those tubes deform, there will be a LOT more bits and pieces bent, including me. So in essence it's a wash. YMMV
