I can vouch for the Tile Trac as well. After your installers get a couple of install under their belt, the install goes pretty smoothly. A couple of things that weren't mentioned. The 3/8" clearance hole accepts a 3/8" SS "all thread" which can be used to level a waney roof (to a degree), and the all thread keeps the tile in place. I would add a 3/8" SS fender washer loaded up with your favorite caulk on top of the tile after replacing it.

It is much easier and only a small 3/8" hole to drill which equates to less leakage problems. Just my 2w.

We don't do many tile roofs, but we have an upcoming job with flat cement tiles. In the past we've pulled the tiles, placed posts and flashed, cutting the tile to fit. It's a pain. The Quick Mount PV system, www.quickmountpv.com, replaces a tile with a exact-fit plastic flashing with integral flange that goes over the post. It sounds like it'll save a lot of time - if it works.
