I have an 06 MCS and am looking into getting a hitch.

Before purchasing a bike rack, the hitches would cost...

The MiniFini would cost $680 ($351 sport link 1, $250 sport link attachement, $80 receiver attachment)

whereas

The MDM would only cost $250.

I only plan to mount a bike/snowboard rack. But I heard from one source that because the MDM hitch is hidden within the bumper, it makes adding/removing attachments a pain because you have to crawl under the car to pin/upin them to the hitch.

Is this accurate? That would be a pain, but idk if it's worth a ~$400 diference.

If so, with the MiniFini all aspects of the hitch would be readily accessible. I would likely leave the sports link attachment on all the time because it doesn't look at that bad and would keep people away from my bumper when parallel parking (I live in a city). Even with the sports link attachment off, the visible sport link mounts match the aesthetic of the car and don't bother me.

Can someone speak to their experience?
