I bought both, and it turns out that the covers are more useful than the side panels alone are. Previously when packing the KX3 and PX3 I had to give them extra space because I didn¹t want anything touching the panel or knobs. With the covers in place I can get more in the back pack rather than less, as they protect the face of the instruments allowing for more stuff to be packed against them.
