How long is your commute?
I only have one pannier. Admittedly it's been a while since it's been used, but I never found the poor weight distribution mattered riding to work with a lock, lunch, water and a top. Which is probably at least a MBP and clothes in weight(?).
If you're doing serious miles with a lot of weight I can see why you'd want even distribution. But for a ride to work I'd just chuck it all in one. Carrying two bags is more than double the hassle of one.
Just put the bag on your first foot down side.
