I've used many different saddlebags and, if aesthetics alone were the criterion, I'd definitely prefer an old school, green, Carradice. The Camper Longflap carries quite a bit more than the Nelson Longflap and even more than the Adam, but far less than the Hoss -- the Sackville Medium, the only Sackville I've used, carries almost as much as the Hoss and more than the nominally similar-volumed CL, thanks to its more effective design. But I think C's old school bags look better in overall form, if not in details.
I've not used the new Bagman with the stay struts, but I have used the old Expedition, non-strutted, both QR and non-QR. It works well but is limited to the same 10 kg as the SQR, which I, personally, prefer because it holds the bag high and thus obviates the need for the bottom support -- thus not compromising the bag's full volume. Frankly, if I had to use a Bagman with struts, I'd prefer a small and light rack like the Fly (11 oz, capacity 20 kg) or the Mark's (what is its capacity?).
