Zapp...if you buy the rack shown below which is the rack in your first link, be sure to post a brief review of how well it works. I would be hesitant to purchase the rack in your second link because it contacts the downtube to constrain the bike vertically.
I currently use a Saris wheel rack which uses a hemispherical hoop section to constrain the wheel by the spokes with I believe to be an inelegant solution as well...don't like anything abrading my spokes to hold my bike up. So I use the Saris rack to immobilize the front or rear wheel and lean my bike up against the wall. The rack shown below looks to have a lot of merit if the roller up top can hold the rear wheel effectively.
Thanks,
George
