Hi I wanted Hard panniers but opted for soft in the end, for a number of reasons. If you have hard you can only fit so much in & don't really have any 'give' with straps etc.
Also on my bike if I wanted hard panniers I would have to move the indicators & do some re wiring, (pain in the a**e), These do me I had them given to me I managed to fit enough gear for a long weekend & tent sleeping bags for me and the other half, she was not impressed when I told her no kitchen sink!
I think if I did get another set Probably go for the otleib as I have the otleib bag.
I prefier not to have a top box as then I can lay the bag across from pannier to pannier, when 2 up or the length of the bike behind me when on my own.
