It's a nice rack, Ed, but I just can't imagine it adding much rigidity to the fork when mounted with those stays in that position.
I have a similar fork and have noticed the braking flex to occur in the bends and at the crown, leaving the straight sections of the legs pretty straight. My prospect is adding a rack mounted by the dropouts, but to really make a difference it would have to attach somewhere near the bars as well to create sort of a modular version of the jones/black cat truss forks.
However, you feel what you feel and that's what counts.

The NFE finally have an awesome rack, 100% level with no shim whatsoever, Colin did a great job.
Oddly enough it actually improved the handling due to stiffen the blade reducing the twist force of the disc rotor.
Still comfortable to ride as the rack is nowhere near the low end of the blade.
