I have both bags, actually all three, don't ask why. I use them all with the Nitto R-14 rack. The Carradice rests on the rack but sags on both sides around it. I can also feel the edges of the top behind the saddle with my butt. Both Sackville SaddleSacks become invisible (I don't feel them at all) when on the bike and I like them both, but of the two, I've fallen in love with the large one that I now use for commuting.
I like the Carradice for leisure rides because of the two side pockets but feel it is less practical for commuting. Haven't tried using it without the anitto rear rack. It also goes very well with my Nitto Big Rear smaller rack, which I can use on the Hunqapillar de to the higher placed seat stay braze-on which in turn allow the rack to fall right below the saddle loops. The larger version falls behind the saddle loops and the top section interferes with the bottom of the SaddleSacks. If I had to choose only one and give the others away, I'd probably stay with the large SaddleSack. If I only could have two, I'd add the Carradice Camper.
