SFC - 2pt vs. 3pt?

I am about to get some SFC for my car and was wondering how much of a difference there is between the 2pt and 3pt verions? Are the 3 pt worth the extra $100 or so? I am basically trying to decide between the competition Engineering 2 pts and the UMI 3 pts. Which of these two (or any other if you have a strong recommendation) would you all suggest I go with? Also, I noticed that on their website there is a picture of the UMI 3 pt installed on a car with long tubes and ORP and was wondering if anybody has had any fitment issues with this?

For sheer strength, I would think that 3 point connectors would be better. Especially if you have either a driveshaft loop or a torque arm that mounts where the stock tunnel brace goes, as it would also tie the car together from side to side, in addition to front to rear.

If I had the money, and weight isn't a major concern, then I'd go with 3-point.

I don't think the UMI's and Comp. Eng. are really a comparison. Take a look at the links below, they may help some. I like how the 3pts tie into the torque arm if mounted to the floor
