I've loaded toured on both. My lwb Tour Easy recumbent is a totally comfortable, slower ride with a space on the seat back for gear. Also a standard rack for lots more gear. Other than comfort, you've always got a panoramic view. I've toured on it with two panniers and a rack pack. A buddy tours on a swb Bacchetta, lighter and faster.

That being said, I have mostly reverted to a DF, aerobar equipped, for touring. Not as comfortable, but faster and more nimble. Just more fun. (The pic is old.)
