Agreed. I like using zip-ties to attach my Wald basket to the Nitto Campee front rack on my Atlantis, primarily because I can cut them and remove the basket in about ten seconds if I'd prefer to use my Swift Ozette bag.
Regardless of which setup I'm using, I find the Atlantis handles like a dream with a heavy and high front load. I even strapped a 40 pound bag of woodstove pellets to the rack, which was so tall that half the bag was above my already high handlebars. I was able to cruise home on snowy trails without an issue. It could be that I'm just so used to more aggressive frame geo that the Atlantis feels great by comparison, but I've never felt it needed improvement. I can ride with no-hands with a loaded basket/Ozette without running into flip-flip issues too.
