Got the box (Thule Evolution 1600)
My wife had known that I wanted a cargo box for the allroad ever since I got it, and this winter she got me a pulley system from Thule for a cargo box. Given to me on Christmas day, and the box had been sitting in the garage since. I had a couple hours to burn on Saturday before my mother in law came to visit, so my buddy DJ came by with some tools and helped me rig up the pulley system in the garage. The screws that came with the Thule system were "concrete" screws, so I just ran to Home Depot and bought a 2x6 and some wood screws. Total time took about 2 hours (including trip to HD) to install.

Spent all day running around looking for the Thule Evolution 1600 box that K finally gave me clearance to purchase. Started of locally at A-1 Cycles at the Clocktower shopping center in Herndon, but to no avail. I then went to REI at Fairfax Corner, but not in stock. They called around, and their Bailey's Crossroads shop had 6 in stock (in Silver). They held one for me, and I picked it up. Traffic from Fairfax to BCR sucked, but I found it, and I'm happy. Installation is a snap - takes about 5 minutes to put it on the roof, and about 1 min. to remove.
