I will be using these for multi-day tours. I'm 6'5" so any clothing I pack takes a little extra room. This is my first set and I know I'll need the space when I start doing longer rides with my kids(least that's the plan). I do like the option of loading the rollers up while open like grocery sacks, though I do like a flap. In time I may get a trunk bag to carry smaller, readily available 'stuff' though I could toss a smaller zipper closed container under a flap of a packer just as easily. I'll prolly be happy with either set, but like reading what folks have experience. Thanks for the replies. Will post when I do get my setup orderd and installed on my bike.
