fire extinguisher bracket?

i've been pondering fire extinguisher.

originally i wanted to go with the porsche factory ones,
but i heard they are 1) pain the in neck to install 2) factory extinguisher use dry chemical which has some disadvantages compared to clean agents 3) "not good enough" for some track events because it's not a true "quick release" 4) expensive.

so i searched for aftermarket kits and found these three:
brey-krause, rennline, speedtactics.

i bought the speedtactics one and received it last week,
after staring at it a bit i decided i did not like it,
mainly due to where it attaches and the fact that i have to remove the cover on the set railing, exposing the metal bits.

so between brey-kraus and rennline,
which one is better?

can anyone please give me suggestions?
which one do you think is the best one?
is there any more choices to consider?

You didn't say which vehicle you have, but for the 997.1 GT3 with standard seats, the Brey-Krause R2040 is the one I use. It mounts under the passenger seat.

If you track the car, the real problem with the Porsche OEM fire extinguisher is that it is less than 2.5 lbs, which doesn't meet PCA DE requirements, at least in the regions around here. Also, the Porsche fire extinguisher bracket won't work with other fire extinguishers, including the 2.5 lb unit I have.
