I thought I needed the bench for suitcaes & the flat loadfloor. Got the buckets and they work better for both people & carrying things. With the seats up you can keep the items in the boot from shifting when you brake and with a towel in the seat carry taller objects than with the seats down...In addition the passengers are more comfortable and they adjust fron/back & actually tilt for comfort...Go for the buckets inless you'll use the flat loadfloor eveytrip and take no passengers....
also the bench slides and reclines in 3 sections.
I'm not sure I understand how a towel helps you carry taller items though.

1 additonal comment. Use a key to depress the small BK tab at the base of the 2nd headrest rod which doen't adjust to lower the headrest to flush with the seatback. This allows for better rear viewing and you can drop the seats down flush with out having to move the front seats forward or tilting them vertical..Enjoy
