Strut Bar Comparsion Question

[M3S E36]

I am comparing the Mason bar: ME-SB-E36S-0 Adj steel brace and the Rogue Engineering Strut Tower Brace. Cost aside, they both seem like high quality braces. The rogue brace appears that it is very easy to remove to access the engine bay, which is more appealing. The Vorshlag site doesn't have any details on the how difficult it is to remove the brace for access. Do any of you have experience with either brace? If so how difficult are they to remove?

If you have a wrench or socket, you use it to remove three bolts on each strut tower. If the bar is very tightly fitted, you may have to loosen the adjustment first. On Mason's fixed bar, he says sometimes it does not drop down on the strut studs, but that you have to jack up the car a little so the studs drop down to near flush with the tower surface and then you fit the bar and lower the car (this is necessary because those studs, as part of the struts, are angled like the struts, so the distance between the top and bottom of the stud differs slightly).
