I've also considered a hard-sided trunk, but I'm not crazy about being unable to tie things to my rack.
1. My townie basket is similar to yours- they are both grocery panniers.
2. You might consider a different rack. Something that has more than just two legs/struts. I'm thinking about either the Axiom Journey or the Odyssee
3. That bike...may just tempt me to give alloy a try.
