I strongly prefer weight on the front, but when rear racks all follow pretty much the same design and can be had for less than $50, it's hard to argue with it from a utility standpoint. My Clem that I share with my partner has a standard (albeit silver) rear rack and a Velo Orange front rack with the standard wald basket attached. I usually toss an LL Bean tote bag in there with my stuff, and use a Carradice bag off the back for carrying extra clothing, flat kit, pump, etc.
My favorite setup is a front rack with a basket platform and lowriders, like the Velo Orange or Nitto campeur style racks. Nothing beats a big pannier full of produce mounted right near the front hub for adding stability to the bike. And, at $200-350, fancy front racks like this are worth outfitting 4-6 bikes with standard rear racks!
