One large Peak Design Tech Pouch vs. 2x small pouches...which is better for organization?

Question

Looking for some input on a packing dilemma. I’ve been weighing two different approaches to gear organization and wanted to see what the "over-optimizers" here prefer.

On one hand, there is the single large Peak Design Tech/Wash pouch. It's a popular choice because you can use one side for tech accessories and the other for toiletries. The benefit is that everything stays in one single, easy-to-find spot. The downside? Once it’s full, it basically becomes a solid, unmanageable brick in your bag. It's rather large when packed to its fullest.

On the other hand, there's the two-pouch approach: using two smaller pouches to have one dedicated unit for tech and another strictly for wash items. This is much cleaner for organization since you aren't mixing categories, but you're now managing two separate pouches instead of just one.

I know this such a nitpicky question, but since we are all in the business of optimizing our bag setups, I wanted to hear from those who have tried both.

Do you prefer the convenience of the single pouch or the modularity of the split setup?
