Okay, we've now got our smart car and we're looking for a tow bar/base plate system for it. Blue Ox has theirs in production and Roadmaster says they're working on theirs. My question to all the experts out there: which company builds a better product, and why?

Let's have some facts and figures here - try to stay away from "I like XXX because YYY just sucks"... if YYY really does suck tell me why!
