Best handlebar bag for bike packing

I've just about completed outfitting my new Cutthroat with bike packing bags. Very pleased with my choices but haven't decided on a handlebar harness. Enticed by the Revelate Pronghorn but wondering if the standard Revelate harness would be a more durable choice. Any advice?

I have the harness and think that it is perfect. I use it for my tent and sleeping bag and sleeping mat. On top of that sits Revelate Periphery pocket, now discontinued it seems but it’s similar to the egress pocket. It’s well made and very functional, suits my needs perfect. I use it on a wide (820mm) flat handlebar, though. But the quality is really good and I’ve used it on longer bikepacking trips with no problems.

Thanks! I'm not a racer so it probably makes sense to stick with the standard Revelate Harness.
