Beauty, no other. Or perhaps load suspension. (That is a weak joke.) The rack is quite stiff and I will be using it for small loads (again, no more than I could fit in a Camper with SQR, the latter having a limit IIRC of 10 kg).
Matthew told me his goal was to make the rack look good even when it wasn't carrying anything and I think he succeeded. The 10 mm tubing, again, is very stiff -- no flex when I yank on it or shove down on it. Personally I like a very direct aesthetic: my own choice would be HJ lugs and straight forks, particularly for a fixed gear; but I am not complaining about this rack (or my Rivs).
