Roof crossbars question

I've got a Zacatal rack attached to my stock crossbars and I wanted to upgrade the way its mounted to a guttermount system with stronger load/crossbars.

This kit seems to have everything
http://www.prolineracks.com/proline-gmr165-rain-gutter-racks.html
4 of the guttermounts and 2 crossbars. I'm assuming these guttermounts would work on XJ gutters.

This is a kit I found while searching - about the same price as the above. I can't tell though if this includes 4 guttermounts and 2 crossbars or if its just the 4 guttermounts. The way the Zacatal rack mounts I think mounting the Zacatal to crossbars would be easier/sturdier then mounting the sides of the rack simply to guttermounts. Does anyone know what this kit includes exactly? It specifies the number of bolts etc... but not whether load bars are included or not.

The first link is gutter mounts and load bars, the Surcos are just gutter mounts. The Zacatal mounting I wouldn't trust too much if you're storing a lot of weight - such as a tire - on top.
