One issue with rooftop boxes is clearance - we have an older house and so the garage doors are not very tall. We cannot drive my wife's Volvo XC90 into the garage with a roof top installed and so I gave up. Parking garage clearance can also be an issue. If not an issue for you then the boxes are nice in that you can use them for other stuff.
We ended up getting a roof rack mounted ski carrier (we have a Kuat, which is okay, with the best feature being that it slides horizontally so I can easily load all the skis in before sliding back into place).
