I agree with that 100%. I can tell you the cushions that came with my cheap Magnum basket are holding up just fine. When I had it all torn down, I tried to wiggle my basket/gear, both on the bike and off. Solid.
Kinda goes without saying, if you have cheapo cushions, good ones will make a world of difference. I'm thinking this magnum basket comes with pretty good ones!
One day, when I'm loaded (so...never bascially...LOL) I'll get the spring loaded Hinson basket so I don't have to worry about smoking the cushions. Until then, my basket is doing just fine...
