However, the OP may have difficulty running with panniers, depending on the geometry of his mtb....
What should I look for in the geometry if planning for panniers? If I can take some measurements now and realize panniers would NEVER be an option for this bike then I can skip the Supertourist and just go with the Explorer designed for disk brakes. The Explorer that Big Lebowski is referring to is not designed for disc so I would have to do the $40 Explorer setup for the disc.
