Just had Caribou luggage and would not recommend for overland work.
Pelican boxes are good (but heavy) but the racks have not stood up to the roads. My .02c worth of advice would be to pay the extra for Jesse Luggage bags. A few dollars more for a more reliable product and more storage while still being narrower.
But the Caribou bags were great for just pulling off the bike and taking into the hostels/hotels.
Sorry cannot help with the relative value of the KLR.
