topbox comparison - help me decide

[the_wes]

ok you've all convinced me that the beemer topbox is too expensive

so here are my options:

givi vs kappa vs sw-motech (aluminium)

what you guys think? if i go for givi or kappa, then i'll get the 41/42l

(the sw-motech is appealing to me cos it looks the business, and i want to eventually get their panniers so it'll make a set, i can make do with the fact it has less volume, but just wondering if it's not toooo little)

i want to use it for commuting / somewhere to put jacket (or 2) or maybe helmet when going to shops with wife, and occasionally to help my tank bag carry luggage for non-camping 2 night stays for 2.

if you guys could help me answer these questions that would be great (for all 3)... help me do a comparison:

1. what do they cost? is there a website i can check it out at?
2. quality?
3. durability?
4. ease of attchment/detachment (how many extra brackets do i need for a 2007 F650 Dakar)?
5. where to buy in cape town?

thanks guys! i know there's been a lot of topbox talk, but if you guys can help me make this comparison i'd appreciate it, and i think it might help others as well
