Back Rack for Trek 4500 Disk?

Hi folks This is going to be my second season in touring,so I dont know much.
Im looking for replacement of my rear bike rack for Trek 4500 with Disk brakes.
I want something with weight capacity over 40 kg and wide platform if possible, but weight capasity is more critical.
Im currently using MEC World Tour 2 56L Cycling Panniers.

Thank you.
Roman

Tubus makes some really nice racks and there light.I have the Cargo in the back and Tara in the front.The Surly Nice racks are pretty nice but really heavy compared to Tubus

It looks well built.Kind of heavy though but it would have to be to have a 175 lb capacity.You could haul someone on that rack.
