Is a Carradice a very bad choice? I am put off the Apidura type bags for all the reasons listed above.

Cheers. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I'll get there slowly ;)

you basically have to tip all your stuff out onto the road
I have never done this with my Revelate. I just hold it open and up with one hand and rummage with the other. Much like that time I helped deliver a baby...

It's very secure and, if packed tightly, doesn't move much. It's good for storing things that you only need in the evening but not very good for stuff that you need during the day. It's perfect for stuff that you never use at all.
If you need to get something out you basically have to tip all your stuff out onto the road and then repack it. I went off mine on TCR 04 when I had tyre issues and was carrying my pump in that bag. I had to keep getting my pump out and it was a pain / timewaster. But I now carry my pump on the frame so less of an issue for me.
