Its a great bag for cold centuries, doubles, brevets, and around town. Comes on and off the bike easy with the SQR block. I had an extra block on my other bike so I could swap it easily.
You touched on a thought I had recently about these large seatbags. From my perspective, the capacity need is either a) multi day b) overnighter or c) single day. If you're 'c', then I don't see the need for the seat bag in your picture, as one could be prepared with std seatbag+jersey pockets. For b) the Nelson Longflap or a single pannier seem the way to go with ultralight/compact camping gear. Sounds like you're honing your strategy for an overnighter - check dave's pic over on surly blog for more inspiration.
