Which would you choose and why?

As i understand it only the BMW luggage will fit on the standard Adventure racks, so now a choice between the metal and plastic options.

1. Vario should be cheaper
2. Like that fact that they can be expanded - usefull for filtering.
3. Apparently not as wide as aluminium even when extended

1. Aluminium is tougher and should survive a fall better
2. More luggage space.

Anything else? Anyone know the prices offhand?
