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...
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 :(
