I'm very much of the opinion that narrower is better on anything but Fatbikes.
The bag is still going to bulge even with a narrow spine. Central partitions help with the bulging though.
There seems to be a trend to make bikepacking luggage bigger and bigger lately, and it means people are taking more stuff than they probably need, simply because they're no longer having to think so carefully about what they take.
Just my opinion though.
And that's why you need to start making bags again....they don't even have to be the most Gucci things in the world, they would be good enough to compete with the best available.
