Yes, you can step out wide, but it's impossible to completely avoid it and it can be just a slight pain to have to step around them. I ended up getting an M Sport this time, so no boards. But had I not, would have definitely gotten the boards on either an x-line or luxury (you can add them to luxury, it just doesn't come with them).
I think it's something you will have to adjust through various steps lol, but I see your point. At the end of day I would take that shortcoming over having all these dirty shoes/snowboard boots in my car just to put up the gears on roof.
