any one any idea?!
I couldn't help noticing the huge disparity in prices between different makes of what are essentially just big plastic boxes. I wondered whether there was any justification (and, from a buyers point of view, whether it was worth spending the extra money) or whether you were just paying extra for the name. Is a Givi or Krauser (for example) top box or pannier stronger or more secure? A bit thicker plastic maybe but does that really matter?
