can't Decide - Nelson LF vs. Camer LF

Carridice Nelson vs. Camper (not camer - I would like a saddle bag that can carry my gear for multiple day trips. I pack light and normally do not need much for cold weather. I will be carrying my overnight gear on my front rack (bridge hammock and poles, fly, air mattress) so no need for room in the seat bag for that stuff. My fleece will likely go under the longflap (somewhat bulky so it would take up too much room inside).

What I expect to put in the saddlebag:
1 windbreaker
1 pair socks
1 pair riding shorts
1 pair undies
2 lightweight jerseys
1 wool long sleeve shirt
1 lightweight long pants
1 small Jetboil stove
2-3 freeze dried meals
1 small ditty kit
1 compact down sleeping bag

For those of you that have one, or have experience with them would you recommend the Nelson Longflap, or the Camper LF? Nelson is 18 liters and Camper is 24 (without flap extended). The overall size is quite similiar with the Nelson at 35cm wide, 21 cm deep, and 20 cm tall - the Camper is 35x24x23.

Probbaly not a ton of difference, but....
