I had a rack somewhat like that;

The problems with it were:
- My fork has no hole tapped in the front, so the crown support tab had to run over the fender through to the back
- The rack (esp. the part nearest the canti posts) would flex like crazy with anything heavier than a sixer of beer on it
- One NYC winter was enough to crack the alloy mounting tabs at the canti posts and render the thing truly useless
- It was excellent at collecting snow to pack around my front brake
- It wasn't even very light
Installing the Wald basket as it comes was literally an upgrade on every level. The handlebar tabs are so sturdy, they create a really stiff link that you can hang a shitload of weight from. The struts have been redesigned enough times at this point that Wald have pretty much no competition making these things.

Let me guess; is your basket is zip-tied to your rack, Prolly-style?

I have a new style Wald and i've used the old ones too, i know the difference is night and day, mine is zip tied on yes.

I can see how snow is a problem, I was only thinking for you that running a strut to your bosses would result in a stiffer basket as its shorter supports. I found mine a bit wobbly compared to the rack mount.
