I do have one, and I like it (nitto campee with removable lowrdier mounts) but i guess I just see it as a nice thing, not necessary if you have a solid lowrider rack and good front panniers plus a handlebar bag... not saying its useless, just that given the few options for the OP (in stainless or silver that are nice quality etc. ) that it shouldnt be a deal breaker... I also have a black tubus duo which is much lighter weight by a couple pounds, and doesnt really affect the capacity I can carry when touring...
