Any recommendations or considerations of one vs. the other? I have an Audi A4. I have Thule racks already.

The Thule Pulse Alpine cargo box # TH613 is the new economy, entry-level box. It opens on one side only, is constructed of durable ABS plastic, and has easy-grip mounting feet that mount in about 5 minutes. The Force XT, # TH6356B, is a step up from the Pulse. It features a diamond textured aeroskin for added durability. It is more sleek and aerodynamic. This box uses tool-free quick-grip mounting feet. The lid opens on either side.
The Pulse is 11 cubic feet and 88-1/2 inches long whereas the Force XT also has 11 cubic feet of storage and is 74-3/4 inches long.
