Is some of it not great? I'm thinking about getting a Racktime Add-It rack as it's less than half the price of the Tubus Logo.

No idea.
I really liked my front rack with the nice light integration, and the snapit system seems great.

If the same people make them as tubus they have to be good.
I would buy Racktime for utility/city bikes that get abuse and Tubus for touring bikes that get treated well.
Racktime is Alu, cheaper, I guess made in asia and has that snapit thing.
Tubus is steel, more expensive (they make a titanium rack) probably still made in Germany and has no funny stuff like snapit.

Thanks for that explanation. I hadn't actually realised the materials differ when I was looking last night.

The snap-it stuff would be handy for my town bike, but this rack is destined for my Croix de Fer, which might see a bit more milage from touring etc with just panniers.
