Thank you for the detail in your post. Trimming to my question there...
On the snap closures - one of my riding buddy's bar bag uses the snaps - older series bags than mine. I have to say, I like the magnets after using the bag with them. What is it with the snaps that you like over the magnets?
I keep my bag pretty full. Most of the time it is the only bag I carry on my rides (not touring) - between tools, gear, and food it is about max'ed out. The only issue I have with it is the lid fabric folds under itself but once I straighten that out and get the lid sides to lay over top the bottom the magnet snap it closed real easy and no need to mess with lining up snaps.
Maybe there is something I am missing on the function of the snaps that is better than magnets?
