Default 8 point roll bar comparison

Looking to purchase a roll bar for my Firebird, want some opinions from any that have installed one. Before we start, I know S&W is a sponcer of the site. I'm not putting a Chrome Moly bar in this thing. I'm looking at their "EWS" kit.

Am looking for a comparison of the S&W roll bar against the Jeg's kit. I know both offer a kit that allows you to retain the back seat, as well. I intend to leave the back seat in place. I have a good feeling I want to retain the rear weight, a late model F-body is nose heavy, want to push as much weight toward the rear as I possibly can.

I have heard many good things regarding the fit and finish of the S&W roll bars. A kicker here, my partner works in Columbus, Ohio frequently. So, in essence, I can purchase a Jeg's kit and pay no freight or shipping. So, unless these two kits are worlds apart, I have to put this in the consideration column because that's money that can be concentrated elseware.
