Pooks - no problems with the weight on one side. It's all pretty close to the balance line for the bike, close to the axle/wheel. I pack the heavy things (bike lock, water bottle) closest to the wheel. If I have a lot of stuff to haul, and i know sqeezing it all into the left pannier would throw me off, I bring along the right one. (like when i had all my work clothes and lunch AND needed a bag of dogfood)
I think having it on the left helps cars to realize how wide I am, too.
