I mostly tour with a Logo EVO, I think it is a great rack for panniers and it is rated at 40kg of weight which makes it quite strong.

However I do not use the Logo around home riding because the top platform is quite narrow. Touring I am mostly relying on panniers but around home I often use a rack top bag. Thus for around home riding I use other racks and put the Logo into storage.

Note the dimensions of the Logo platform, you see what I mean on a narrow platform.

If you buy a Tubus or Racktime, you can buy longer mounting arms to the seatstay if needed. And you can buy ones that are pre-bent.

Some of the Tubus and Racktime mounting instructions also state that you can bend those stays slightly yourself, but I have not had to bend any stays for my bikes. Note on first page, lower bottom it lists that as a DIY option.
