I really don't like the Surly racks - I have one in my parts bin that gathers dust as I use Old Man Mountain racks. The Xtracycle add on is cool, but keep in mind installing is quite a process and not something you'll swap in and out easily. If you want to run the Xtra most of the time and maybe once every couple years pull it off for a tour that involves air travel no problem. If you want to take it off and on several times a year I think you'll give up pretty quick.
