You can carry more boats --- I can carry 3 boats on the roof my Subaru Impreza: 1 in a set of saddles centered on the bars plus two on J-cradles positioned to the left and right of the saddles. With saddles, I can barely get 2 boats up there (they both have to be no more than about 22" beam). I've used the J-cradles to run shuttle with 30" wide canoes --- something that would be impossible with saddles.
