How many kilos have you had on it? I feels like mine starts to flex a little when I put my backpack with computer and school stuff on it.

I've toured twice last year, total of about 1200 miles, with ortlieb front panniers and the wider rack. To note, it is already narrower than minoura and (I think) soma.
There is a knack to getting the panniers on but I wouldn't say it was something that bothered me. As you can see, there is plenty of room between the platform and the panniers. I'd definitely recommend the wider as I've used a narrower platformed rack on tour before but the top was nowhere near as useful.
Problem with soma is its afaia its one piece so difficult to fit into a bike box for flights etc. Pelago packs flat.
