Cool, well do let me know.
I am not thinking of the Tubus Airy, that was just the first found through a quick google, but it looks too narrow on top to actually be of interest. I am less likely to be using panniers, and only request the mount points so that I could have a small platform to strap a tent to.
But in general, I hadn't seen arguments against ti racks even though I haven't yet looked into exactly which rack I might get in the future.
Edit: Another quick google... probably the Lynskey Nomad. Looks wide enough on top, and comes with bottle openers. What more could you want in a rack?

...Tubus Airy...
I wouldn't dispute that it's not the ideal material or ideal rack (not least for the cost, narrowness, and fitting bendability), and that rack does seem to get a slightly disapproving eye from most of the internet, but FWIW I've had two (on two bikes) and had no issues.
One has had two full front panniers* on it continuously for the last 6 years and been used daily throughout that time with only a single strut support. I've snapped two wheels, a frame, and a stem in that time.
*It was originally only designed to take front ones, but I actually prefer that..

Will update later how he advised against the rack but while it might sound nice ti is more a material not ideal for racks and what they have to do. And it wasn't that you can't weld them touring around the world.
