I've got a Nitto front rack (6-pack style) as well as a Tubus Tara front pannier rack, but don't find either of them very useful for commuting and daily use. I keep the Nitto rack on my touring bike all the time because it's handy for emergencies and it's also a good spot to clamp my front headlight, but I generally don't like the way my bike rides with the Nitto rack loaded. For loaded touring, however, I have found that the Tara pannier racks were necessary to distribute weight properly on my bike. I don't keep the Tara rack on my bike all the time, but just install it for loaded trips.
