Ideal length of Roof Carrier Box for E350 Wagon

I had W210 E320 with Yakima Skybox 16 (81Lx36Wx15H). Good fit but it was little too long so that interfere full opening of real hatch door. (I could only open 2/3 of it).

Now I have W211 E350 and looking to buy a roof box for it since I sold mine.
I noticed that E350 wagon's real hatch door opens more than E320 wagon's.
Is there proper fit guide? (should I move forward with 81" or 81" is too long?)
