It appears this item is of little interest to the general forum population,
For those that drop by, I can report I ended up buying the Sport Rack that fit my old Mazda 6 as well as my newly acquired (Sep 2, 2014 delivered) FFH. Same rack fits both. Less than $275 CDN all in. The rack fits OK and supports the canoe easily. With front, back and lateral tie-downs it doesn't move an inch. I have been out 3 times on trips of up to 400 km return, using mostly highway up to 115 km/hr and no problems. So far no marks or scratches of the paint by the clamping feet. It does have square, plastic coated bars, so there is a definite wind noise, but nothing extreme.
Problem solved, for now.
