I have a Camper with the larger quick release bagman. I think because I use the qr rather than Brooks saddle loops, for e.g., the distance between the attachment points and the 90* bend at the bottom of the bagman is smaller and it squishes the bag quite a lot. I know the Camper is the biggest they sell, but I'd say good shout with the larger bagman if you are going to use the qr functionality.

Ah great. Realistically I think keeping the bag off the back of my legs is the main goal, so going bigger probably better than smaller too. Don’t want to squish the bag like you say either!

Yeah good point, but I think both of them would give you ample leg space. The squish also isn't that much of an issue really, unless the bag is completely filled/unsquishable and then it feels like it puts quite a bit of extra stress into the whole system.
