ALOT less than the OE can. I never put it on a scale but to say you can easily lift the MTC cans with one hand, where the OE can requires two.

YES it's BS stamped.

The single can kicks out 90db at 3000 revs, and although it
sounds louder, it's still within the noise limits should you be stopped by VOSA (who don't need any excuse to stop you). On the bike the noise is louder, or appears to be, but for riders following it, I have it on good authority that it doesn't sound too loud.

Nope, they are plastic, with an alloy sheet over the case. The fastening mechanism is all plastic and will sit next to the can. However not alot of heat comes from the side of the can so it 'might' be OK. The contents of my ZegaPro's don't get warm so I can't see there being enough heat to melt the OE panniers.
By the sounds of it, you don't have the panniers yet? If that's the case, I'd opt for something more robus. I've had the OE panniers, now I have ZegaPro's.
