Rear luggage rack quality

I am frustrated by a lack of storage space in my A, and want to add a luggage rack and box to the rear. I have a 1930 with a rear tire mount, and would want one made from stainless steel. Which vendor supplies the best quality, and about what could I expect to pay? I am tired of purchasing parts that are of inferior quality and/or don't fit, so I'm relying on the experience of fellow owners.
 
I purchased my rack from LeBaron Bonney. They have the stainless rack. They also sell the finest trunk I have seen. The fit and finish is phenomenal. It is one of the larger trunks available, fits 2) folding camp chairs (the kind with the folding tray on the side), plus tools, jack and spare parts.

The trunk is $825.00

The SS rack is $405.00

If you have a deluxe body style then you can get one of those luggage racks with chrome and wood slats that all the venders sell. However the repops usually use real wood for the slats rather than the wood grained stamped steel slats. I guess it is easier than manufacturing and woodgraining steel ones. I have an original deluxe type rack that has been painted black and would need refinishing. You can have it for the cost of shipping.

If you have a standard body style then go here:

Where you will find a beautiful repop of a folding trunk rack that is appropriate for standard model A body styles. They also sell extension brackets to mount the rack behind your spare. This picture shows one mounted on my 29 tudor (All 29 tudors were standard.)
