Love these bags and have had three of them, two are forever keepers. Gotta say though I'm not loving the shape of the new large saddlebag. Glad I've got mine.

I have a medium and it is spacious. IMO, the distance between the straps is a tad long but not too long for my C-17.

I picked out a second tool roll and the compact bar bag. Might grab another of either after some more thought. Or the small saddle bag

The roll bag seems bulky for what it can carry, yes/no?

I suppose it doesn't carry a lot. I've got two tubes, a patch kit and some tools in mine, if I remember right.

I really like the mini-saddle bag. Mine currently contains two spare tubes, two tire levers, PrestaCycle ratcheting tool kit, small multi-tool, and my rain jacket:
