I agree, Patrick, definitely not as pretty as the Nitto. Part of the high load rating for the Tubus (and most rear racks for that matter) is that most of the load is transferred vertically to the eyelet bolts near the hub rather than the clamped on strut at the top. The Nitto front (or any rando-style rack) has to transfer almost all of its load horizontally to the connection points and thus the load is amplified by that distance from the connection, yielding a lower maximum load.
