I ride with a Sackville Barsack on my Hillborne and really like it. My usual setup on the bike is the sackville tool roll under the seat containing all my tools, tubes, pump and patches along with the barsack up front containing clothing, any food and maybe a spare bottle of water if I am on a really long ride. The setup works great for me. If I put a full water bottle into the barsack along with a few heavier items I can feel a change in the way the bike handles, it is a little less responsive and on steeper hills the front will tend to wander. I get used to it right away and don't feel hampered by the change in the way the bike feels. The feel does change though with, say, more than 5 lbs up there in the front.
