Steve, I used to run a XS as a handlebar bag. I found that weight up that high does effect handling, but was still very handleable. Because of my sensitivity due to vertigo, I much prefer the weight low, in a TrunkSack. It carries my food on bikepacking trips.
I would say it is well worth trying out to see if it works for you. I'm simply a wimp about such things.
