Went for the RT40, ( http://www.arkel-od.com/panniers/rt40/overview.asp?fl=1&site=uk ) for the mid-ships rack, and will get the RT60, ( http://www.arkel-od.com/panniers/rt60/overview.asp?fl=1&site=uk ) for the main rack. Also getting the rain covers for them as NOTHING is waterproof when out for long enough. Black Bin Liners will also be used inside.
Nothing against Ortlieb. Their range looks good, but designed for up-wrong cycles. See http://www.ortlieb.com/_browse.php?lang=en&tfile=radtasche for their full range.
I hope you've not spent unnecessarily much as my four Ortliebs (two big and two small) fit my Street Machine as if designed for it and I have a top rack bag between the two big ones at the back and they do seem to stay waterproof forever.
