are the the classic design bags like those ostrich and carradice much heavier than the newer style ortlieb bar bags?
I didn't use a bar bag when I went touring recently just 4 pannier bags. Yet I think I could have got away with a bar bag and the rest on the back, which saves substantial weight. But then you've got the conundrum of the front to rear weight being unbalanced.
