I went with ortlieb in the end. because of that magnet thing. It just seemed a bit too complicated compared, and you'd need to leave the magnet clamp on the rack permanently which I'm not interested in as the panniers are for occasional use. I bought some webbing though and hoping to fab up some compression straps as I'm tired of the flappyness of empty orliebs...

If you get anywhere with compression straps let me know - I'd be very interested in doing something similar!

Cool. Think I'm gonna get them too. As a starting point at the very least.
Blackburn/Arkel options are really attractive and a nice "in-between" capacity but they're so much more expensive - I don't think I can justify it when there's other gear to buy :(

I was just looking at Thule panniers - do you know if they come with a lower clip?
The thule site shows they use magnets to attach at the bottom of the pannier. Not sure I'm into this :/
Think I'm about to buy some Ortleib plus Front panniers, unless someone pops up in the next day saying those there blackburn ones are worth the expense, and the hassle of finding them.
Arkel Orca panniers also look super nice, but a bit more spendy than Ortleib
