I’ve got both, SQR on the Brompton so it doesn’t impact the fold and Bagmans on the “proper” bikes. Both of these are used with the traditional saddle bags rather than the SQR specific bags although the SQR mounting is the same.
Never had then overloaded, and can’t tell any difference to be honest. I do feel the bagman sways a little bit more and does flex when pushed, unlike the SQR which is solid no matter what but that’s when loading/unloading rather than riding.
If you’re carrying the bag a lot the bagman is neater as there isn’t the metal frame on the bag itself, as is the case with the sqr. If you’ve got a carbon post I’d possibly avoid the SQR, it carbon saddle rails then I’d avoid the bagman!

Bagman qr with a ball bungee to secure bag to seat post has been my commuting setup for ages with a super c audax. Has been great for on road.

Thinking about getting a Carradice for my commute. Probably a Barley or similar sized one. I wear scrubs at work so only really need to take lunch, pants, socks, occasionally an iPad, pens and a notebook. What are people's thoughts on the SQR vs Bagman QR system for stability? Won't be doing much off road on my commute, but it's very steep so have to ride out of the saddle a lot.
