Good point. I don't mind looking cheap (hell, I am cheap) but I don't want to see the $4000 road bike and the $2000 mountain bike covered in grime, or worse, going under the front wheels of someone tailgating me.
If the roads are clean and dry where the OP lives, the dirt and grime would be less of an issue.
I also like being able to get into the back of the X when I park, and the bike racks that swivel out of the way also seemed to sway more.
I am sure others with very good hitch racks have just as many reasons why my setup is less than optimum.
