Default Sold My Yota, Got Some $$$

So I sold my little Toyota today... sad to see it go. I want to spend some of the money on a tonneau cover. I have been looking at the access loredo, and the trucksedo truxport. I really like how they roll up out of the way. Does anyone have one of these or know someone who has one? Does it fit tight, not flap or vibrate at highway speeds? Does the velcro stick tight?
I can get the access for $350, and the truxedo for $300. Is the access worth the extra $50?
Are there any other covers that I am overlooking? Like i said, i want something for under $400 that gets out of the way, and doesnt take up any bed space.

also, do the mounting rails for the tonneaus mentioned above take up any bed space?

thanks

i sold the tonneau that came with my truck but it didnt take up any bedspace, the rails just go right over the bed rails, simple, you just have the 2 crossmembers that go across the top of the bed to keep the cover elevated.

I have the standard truxedo, it rolls up at the front of the bed with everything included it's only about 3" wide. It does "flap" a little in the wind but nothing I wouldn't expect out of a soft cover. the velco does stay tight and water proof. I've had it for 1 winter now - no complaints.

My grandfather has the access vanish cover on his truck, it sits level with the bed, looks great, rolls up completely at the front. The only loss of bedspace is the rails for the cover reduce the width of the bed by 2" or so on each side at the very top. Overall it's a good cover and if I wasn't obsessed with the idea of having a paint-matched bed cover on my dak I'd get one.
