The similar Swagman was OK, but had a few problems. After a year and a half we switched to this rack. Everything is more solid. The finish is better. The bikes are a little further from the car, which is nice. The square tube which goes into the hitch kicks upward, which prevents the grounding on driveways we would always get with the Swagman on our 1991 Miata.
Also, the wheel straps are extra security. We actually lost a bike off the back of the Swagman (not this rack). The top tube hook wasn't correctly ratcheted down, which can happen with tall bikes on these racks (see the reviews). Wheel straps like the one on this rack would have prevented that disaster. That said, the clamp bolts on this rack are quite secure, so it's probably safe enough to skip strapping the wheels down for short trips.
The price difference is currently about $30, but it's money well spent.

Bikes sit solidly in the rack supported by the wheels instead of hanging from a single point of contact on the frame. Very easy assembly (only needed a small adjustable wrench). I was a little concerned about lock pins staying in place during travel but have had no problems to date. The pins could be better wired to the rack (stronger wire used). I have cut one of the wires when it got pinched in the pivot point raising the tire holders in the vertical position. The ability to lower or lay down the rack is extremely useful. I highly recommend.

Our last rack was the strap-on kind. It took forever to take on and off and the straps damaged our brake cables and constantly had to be tightened. We changed my wife's station wagon and decided to install a hitch solely for this bike rack. What a good decision!
Expect 30 minutes to put the rack together from the box. The instructions are diagram only, but I didn't find it too difficult. The hardest part of hooking it to your car is wrenching in the bolt which secures the rack to your hitch. It was a little cumbersome as my wife's car is small (1.5" hitch) with not much room to work with, and we didn't have a lug wrench to tighten the bolt. I found that, if you lifted the rack with your left hand to take pressure off the hitch, you could mostly screw in the bolt with your fingers.
Putting the bikes on is very easy. You don't have to lift them more than a foot or so from the ground. The wheels fit right into the easily adjusted wheel wells and an included velcro strap secures them. Another L-shaped bar slides over the top bar of the bike to hold it in place. The center-of-weight of the bikes is very low and that gives more stability than other hitch-mounted racks I have seen. I feel very comfortable going down the interstate with both bikes.
The hitch rack itself folds up and locks in place for storage. The whole system fits nicely in the back of the wagon. There is a plastic adapter for those who need to fit onto a 2" hitch.

I love this rack. You don't have to struggle trying to fit your bike (or bikes) on two poles. Easy on, easy off. And the rack holds the bike(s) very securely. One very, very important thing to remember with this rack; make sure you insert the locking pin that holds the verticle bar in the upright position. If you forget to do this your beloved bike will be securely dragged to death.
