Knowing what I do now I would have probably bought the Shad rather than the E55. I leave my box on 99% of the time so I do not care what the rack looks like even though Phil's rack is nice for support. The Shad comes with a nice backrest pad and I feel that it is has less movement on the rack than the E55. Lastly I like the latch mechanism much more on the Shad SH50. However I plan on adding the Admore light kit to the E55 and that may change my mind. The Shad is a great box.
