It made me think of how much I love my front basket (I think of it as the middle size basket, but Ian tells me that most people would think of it as a big basket). I have been able to carry everything I have needed (within reason) with my front basket and trusty bungee net. The bungee net is key.

another reason to like front racks/baskets is that your rear wheel is already supporting more weight than your front (esp. for upright riders). More weight will mean more pressure on the spokes of your rear wheel, means more chance of needing a replacement/more frequent truing.
Plus, you can see the stuff.
There are so many reasons to go "full frontal". You can keep an eye on your cargo, you can balance more easily at stops, also like the above comment said, you can more evenly distribute the load on your bike. Baskets all around!!!
