I would agree, but when the expedition-worthy rack weighs little more than the one I'm already hauling around it doesn't seem so crazy.
The Surly isn't the commuter any more, and will be rackless for most of the time, but for the occasional trip where rack/panniers is required, seems like the Nice Rack would be better suited.
getting an "expedition-worthy" rack for carrying small panniers and occasional pizzas seems crazy to me. could use this chance to get a lighter porteur which will still carry all you need. but you know my touring tendencies...
