I use the ortlieb front roller plus, which is smaller than the rear ortlieb. I typically only use one and I put it on the drive side in the rear (I chose drive side only because on the other side, it blocks the view of my mirror). If I have it loaded with heavy items, I can kind of feel it if I'm out of the saddle and rocking the bike, but if I have my butt in the saddle, I can't even tell that it is back there.
