if you need the extra space go for the Disco as that is the only advantage it has over the FL2.

Will your occasional long/large loads fit on a roof rack or in a roof box?

I've got both. The FL2 is the wifes car. The Discovery mine. apart from the service costs, excise licence and mpg, the Disco is the better car. It's got plenty of room, holds the road better in poor conditions. It has the air suspension, the low gear ratio, 7 seats, higher ride position etc.

Don't have them but it seems that the roof rails don't cause any noise issues, but roof rails plus the cross bars which your going to need? You'll have to wait for further guidence from other members who have this combo.

I have the roof rails fitted and regualrily use the cross bars and dont find the noise bad at all. My brother has the same car without roof rails and it is a little bit quieter but not an issue at all. The roof rails also dont seem to make much of a difference to the fuel consumption.

Depending how many you transport at once would a tube that plumbers keep pipe in help to keep them clean and cut dowm any potential noise, also speed up loading.

Have fitted roof bars since getting the car. No noise with roof closed at motorway speeds, very little noise with roof closed at motorway speeds with cross bars fitted.
