I have a set which I believe use the system you're describing. I have no complaints about the mounting system and have used them on pretty rough stuff. I have used them on a Tubus Tara and a Nitto 34f/Big Front Rack. The lower hook does seem a little flimsy, but again I haven't had issues. I would just take a bungy or strap to put around the outside if I was more worried about that hook on another tour.
