If you like the lighter materials, spend the extra $ and get the plus. Otherwise, the classic is very capable and that's reason why it's quite popular.

I like that the Pluses look nicer, but they will inevitably get dirty from rain/snow/etc, and the Classics seem easier to clean. How do you handle organization, since the panniers are basically one giant pocket? I plan on using them for commuting and the occasional grocery trip, so I'll need to fit my clothes, laptop, and flat-fix tools in there. I'm guessing all that can fit in just one pannier, plus the second one for groceries?

Yes, just one big bucket in there but there's a zippered mesh liner in there to put your wallet, lights, keys, etc. for easy reach.

Also there's a longer pocket behind that that covers the hard plastic for the back that I use to store my ipad and the pouch that I put my tools in.

Everything else, I just dump in there. I use a sleeve for laptop, though, as to not get too banged up.

Yeah, I figured I would buy a sleeve for my laptop.

It all fits unless your work requires you to dress up as the San Diego Chicken.  Then you will need to use both panniers.
