Looking at some options for a stand that will let me use my 15" rMBP in clamshell mode. After looking through some of the reviews, there seem to some complaints about wifi connectivity and also heat dissipation. I'm worried about generating a lot of heat while the lid is closed.

I've narrowed it down to the Twelve South BookArc or the Rain Design mTower. Does anyone have any experience with either of these or even some that I haven't found yet?

I've used the rain design mtower for years. Only issue seems to be occasionally my macbook pro needs to be opened and then connected to the monitor, then closed and put in the mtower.

No wifi issues? Is it pretty easy to put the rMBP in and out of it?
