No pictures from me either, but I bought the Small thinking it would likely be all I ever need, then discovered how much room a coiled cable lock, tool bag, spare tube and windbreaker or poncho take up -- it's like half the UNstuffed bag. I haven't really tested its overstuffed capacity.
On my particular bike, the Small just looks "right," in proportion, and doesn't interfere with the canti brake cable. Aesthetically, the Medium would look massive, but I know that extra capacity could prove useful one day.
