I like the B&R best too and notice that even though you loose space with the ouside handle system, B&R just seems better organised so I still seem to get more in them than in similar bags of other brands - I am referring here specifically to rolling computer bags.
Like you I note the flat packing sacs which can level out the spaces created by the handle rails when they are inside the bag and I recall that Targus once had a rolling computer bag called the CURC which came with long-thin packing sacs designed to fit between the handle spaces on the inside.

Yeah, the flat packing spot is nice but you can also use the extra space and make them flat by simply building a custom packing cube that fit that space. Look at the bags from Clava. It has a one piece flat liner that covers the entire 3 crevices made by the handle rails (to the right, middle of the bars and to the left). Here is a link to the pic.

Hartmann is just nice looking. Gotta give it some love to simply looking good... you know......easy on the eye. There is some merit in there somewhere.
