Good point about the weight, not something I'd considered.
I think for the sake of simplicity, time and cost, I'll have a go at making a smaller bag with at least a solid rear panel, a tall 'slot' that covers most of the tombstone and maybe thin foam sheet in the sides for a little structure. For a jacket, malt loaf, knee warmers and keys/wallet, it should be more than enough space.
I got away without a decaleur with a bag that have a low enough stack height, bag that are very tall like those GB rando bag do need to have the decaleur.
The other advantage with the decaleur is that it allow me to removed the stiffener inside, reducing the weight of the bag to less than 300g, the stiffener add 300g on top.
