This basket is cool because it quickly clips on and off and has spring loaded arms inside to hold stuff inside. The handle is very sturdy, unlike the Topeak basket.
I tend to think in terms of grocery bags. I want something specific to their size so that I can just drop it in and go. Down the road you might want to get a front rack for the basket you have now, and in addition, get 2 Wald 582's for the rear. Now you're talkin. And as you know, the 582's fold up and are out of the way when you don't need them. I actually have two 582's on the back, and one 582 mounted on a front rack with my grocery getter.
