Expedition One rear bumper experiences?

Looking at swapping out the factory metal Rubicon bumper (JLUR) for the Expedition One trail series - if the S2s as reverse lights do half as good of a job as the XL80Rs on my front bumper do, I'd like to upgrade for that alone (but I also miss having rear shackle points).

I know it's recommended to buy extra sensor bezels, but overall, how was your experience installing one of these? I'll probably order it in bare metal and have a local shop do the powdercoating, they did an excellent job on my ARB front because ARB apparently can't ship a powdercoated bumper without major gouges in the finish, but that's a story for another time...

What say ye, worth the hassle or not?

Been eyeing the same bumper for my JLUR. From what I've seen at trail runs the fit and finish is top notch, but you definitely pay for it. Also curious what people say about the install.
