The TOMs 6 link ties those two outer mounting points with the pivot point on each lower control arm.
Structurally the TOM's appears to be a better design providing a better stiffening of the rear end than the Ultra racing set up shown.
The front end feels loosey goosey during turn in, but when applying power coming out of a turn, the rear bracing comes in to play. Anyone with an LSD and has practiced drifting out of a turn will appreciate the additional rear bracing.

I bit the bullet and bought the Ultra Racing 4-point rear chassis brace(UR-RL4-930)from the eBay seller in Malaysia. The seller says it fits a '00 Aristo 3.0T. The Tom's rear brace fits both the GS400 and 300. I'll let you know how it works out.
As a side note, my Carbing front chassis brace has been awesome. It replaces the OEM front chassis brace and is NOT an add-on as the Ultra Racing front brace appears to be.

Looks like the Tom's is still the only one for sale for our model GS. Going to try and get clarity from the seller as to which specific Aristo this chassis brace is for.
