Bill's assessment jives with my experience with the CR720s. At first, they didn't seem as strong as other brakes I use, but they seem to have broken in well. I'll replace the stock pads with Kool-stops once they've worn out. There's no interference with the Nitto M-12 rack, as seen (fuzzily) here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ollieandema/3457750574/in/set-72157616845357158/
I think there were some extra screws in the cable hanger that I decided not to use based on recommendations from others.
