Did you reinforce from the underside the D rings that are in the floor? I have a new to me Raptor that I have not used yet and will put a HD Electra Glide in it. 900+ pounds so it HAS to be secure and I have read that the factory D rings are a weak link. My underside is accessible but haven't investigated it well yet. I am also considering the "E track" to use along the sides for those straps. Wish I had a Condor and Harbor Freight to put side by side to compare.
I have a Fuzion which is the same thing as the Raptor. My D rings are rock solid. I sometimes tie down a dune buggy with them. If you are worried you could look underneath.
I have the Condor in the picture above. I bought it off of Craigslist for $100. If not I probably wouldn't have it. On the other end of the setup I have a Harbor Freight chock. The Bike Pro copy. I don't like it at all. But that's OK as I am down to one bike at present.
We put the same setup in my wife's cousin's toy hauler. He has two of the HF chocks that are more like the Condor. They seem to be fine. However the quality is nowhere the same as the Condor, but neither is the price.
Cycle Gear has a nice looking chock that they run on sale often for $69.99. If I was in the market I would probably buy one. If I couldn't find another used Condor. BTW I see Condors on Craigslist all the time.
