I run a tiny saddle bag with just a tube and multi-tool and everything else goes in my jersey pockets. I see Cube's solution as a step up from the usual saddle bag without compromising the main triangle design!
I can say that my domane storage does not rattle one bit. I was looking at the Emonda, but I decided on the Domane for a couple of factors, and the internal storage was one of them. I can even store a light rain jacket in there as well, which is really sweet,
