Question Saddlebag installation question

Hello guys!
Here I have a little dilemma. I’ve got a set of nice Bolt-on Viking saddle bags. They came with a mounting hardware that is simply powder coated steel. I was giving a thought of getting quick release brackets that are now available from two different places like Ghost Brackets from Viking Bags and Easy Brackets from Cruiser Customizer. They sell for about $150 a set. I read some reviews on those and most of them are good reviews, but some reviewers expressed their concern with these brackets making the bags stick out to far.

So, here is my question – is it worth to spend $150 on quick release brackets and does anyone knows any alternatives to these brackets?
