The opening on the Large is easier to use than panniers. It's easier to put stuff in, and easier to get stuff out again, because the opening is bigger. Let's say you stop at the grocery store on the way home. You buy a gallon of milk, a big bag of potatoes (no paleo here!), some vegetables, a package of meat, some laundry detergent, some cans of tomatoes. Maybe you already had a jacket and your laptop along. With panniers, you have to painstaking allocate everything. With the Large Saddlesack, you just jam it all in, and scrooch stuff into the corners to fit everything.
I like panniers for touring. I've crossed the US west to east, and also south to north, touring and camping with panniers, so I know what it's like to use panniers every day. But for daily commuting/around town/picking stuff up after a ride, the Large Saddlesack is my choice.
