I found panniers and top box fine for my 10 days in Scotland, not that I needed much as every day was out all day on the bike
For every day use, I work in a different place almost every day so can't leave stuff at work, I normally only have the top box on and this is a bit restricting, I used to have a givi 42 L box and this was fine for my working day but the smaller Honda one is a bit cramped for me.
I also think the Top Box looks small on the bike, a bit toytownish
