I'm with you, Chris... I too enjoy a nice, leisurely dismount, including unhurriedly unpacking whatever I need from my saddlebag. Having said that, I really love my Carradice Super C, mainly for its heavy-dutiness, but also I appreciate the fastex buckles for their ease of use. I also have a Zimbale bag or two, which has buckles and quick-release straps... I love the buckle look, but appreciate the ease of use... I just unfasten it slowly.
As for handlebar bags, I'm still adapting... I have a VO Campagne bag and have been fumbling with its flimsiness on a front rack (I DON'T use a decaleur, which is part of the challenge)... I will be testing out a new bag rack (that fits on the canti posts, and seems to be half rack, half decaleur). Will also install some additional stiffeners inside the bag.
