Is that the entity rack from bicycles online? I'm tossing up that rack vs the actual rocky mounts one. Doesn't seem to be a huge difference, maybe the front wheel mechanism. Rate it and have you had any issues?
I got mine off marketplace and it looks the same just a different brand, I think one company mass produces them then puts stickers for that company, mines the DK2 brand which looks to be from Costco. I rate it pretty good probably only two things, one was mounting the number plate where I just did as above using this

The only other thing is the lever it has to tilt it, it works but mine’s just a bit stiff, I just haven’t got around to looking at it. As the bloke I got it off had it outside, so might need a bit of spray or a tweak, definitely not a deal breaker. If you look through google you might find some even cheaper but when I was looking it was MTB direct who was the cheapest but you might find one cheaper, I will try and find one I saw online at a Bayswater store.
Just thought of one other thing and I think Rockmounts would have the same problem, there was no way to lock the bike up. What I did with mine was drill a hole in the wheel holder rail just above where it stops for my wheel and got a padlock as below, I use it when I might need to leave it unattended
it’s more to deter someone who sees an opportunity, if someone’s out to steal it no lock will stop them.
The arm’s that hold the wheel are good made from aluminium and hold it firmly in place, drove to Yackandandah with no issues, no different to the roof rack style of arms been down dirt roads and even hit a speed bump to quick, rack bounced around a bit, but no issues.
