anybody have a rambox on their RAM truck?

I'm getting close to buying a ram 2500.. I need it to haul my boat and a cargo trailer over several months down to AZ as I slowly move out of WA.
after the move, it's probably going to not be used much for long haul towing, other than take the boat to the lake once a month or so.. and possibly a 5th wheel later on in life...
anyway, I'm intrigued by the rambox... looks like a nifty idea, but it's pricey at 1300$.. and it makes the bed non-standard so caps and tonneau covers become limited...
I really thought I was getting a diesel but in the end, I am going to get a hemi as I won't be driving it enough to clean the emissions system regularly... the lake is 25 miles away and other than that everything is less than 5 miles away... I know I'll be getting 6mpg towing stuff uphill but I won't be doing that often enough to worry about it.. then again, I may end up with an oil burner once i hit the dealer... we all know how that goes with test drives...
on the plus side -- work will be 1.6 miles from my driveway.. I may end up just biking to work as the cars won't reach operating temp in 4 minutes.
there's a part of me that still wants to consider the power wagon though... it's basically a rubicon on a 3/4 ton truck chassis...
