I have the Thule. It works out great. The fit is universal for the two. They use a wide clamp type mount to mount to the VX's carrier.
I don't see how you can get a Yakima $120 cheaper than the Thule. I paid 238 for my Thule shipped and the Yakima was 275 plus shipping.
I like the Playpen because it comes with a wind dam, extra load bars and it has outriggers for mounting additional carriers (bike, ski, etc,) to the sides while carring gear in the basket. I wish it came in black though. The hardware quality is questionable, but the basket itself is sturdy and Moab tested tough.
Overall I like the look of the Yakima better, but it was hard to beat the value of the Thule.
