H-crate question

With 6 horizontal rod holders, is there a reason to go with the H-rail crate rather than any plain, good crate? I never carried more than 4 rods on my old kayak and I’m thinking most anything else I might want the H-rail for would be things I can reach easily, which behind the seat is not. TIA for thoughts or feedback on how you use yours, or haven’t found the rails on the crate to be of real use.
