Dorky? Maybe the brightly colored Bug. The black/gray Bug and Metropolitan look stylish to me. I love my Bug and the capacity isn't enough of an issue to use a second pannier. I did get a cargo net bungee to carry extra shoes/jacket or whatever on top of the rack though. With this in mind, 23 vs. 25L isn't much of an issue, and it would be nicer to have one simple strap and flap instead of Bug's two flaps and having to put up the bungee/hook system. Since I use the Bug as my primary backpack and use it that way a good deal with a full load - I decided two straps was the way to go.
