Why not buy eg. Sakwy 30L from 21'Brothers for merely 130 euro:

or something similar for little more from Red Mammut:

Sorry both websites are in Polish only but your Google Translator or in-built Chrome translator will help.
P.S. No affiliation with those manufacturers...

I could have chosen your links bags or several other brands like Mosko's or BMW's own soft bags. I chose these LR's due to the materials used. LR is the only company I'm aware of that's thrown a bike with their bags attached, off a truck and dragged it a fair distance on a dirt road, then showed the results and how their bags withstood that harsh test.
Other bags may or may not stand up as well as the LR's, but there's no way of knowing without these other companies demonstrating the same type of testing. LR had to have a LOT of confidence to perform that destruction testing on their bags, and that built a confidence in myself.
Price point? I looked at that this way. My Vario's are near 500 dollars each. A get off like I had 3 days before X-mas would have had me replacing the left Vario, to the tune of near 1/2 what the racks and LR bags cost me.
I'm sure others bags would be nearly as or as durable and last a lifetime like you linked or the Mosko's/BMW soft bags, but that video test sold me on these bags.
